One of the problems encountered by poor people who are facing the prospect of encountering legal problems is the challenge of attaining adequate legal representation. One way which the legal system ensures that there is an availability of a fair trial is through providing anyone facing criminal proceedings with a free lawyer. The Supreme Court case Miranda versus Arizona established what has since become known as a suspects “Miranda rights.” The Miranda ruling ensures that suspects must be mirandized, or have their rights read to them. The Supreme Court ruling said that “the person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he or she has the right to remain silent, and that anything the person says will be used against that person in court; the person must be clearly informed that he or she has the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, and that, if he or she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent her or him.” The free attorney attained by the refusal to wave a suspect’s Miranda rights is often provided by legal aid society in different states.
