Definition of uncounseled

UNCOUNSELED

Uncounseled means that someone did not have the help of a lawyer or legal advisor.

  • An uncounseled conviction: This means that someone was found guilty of a crime without having a lawyer to help them.
  • An uncounseled defendant: This means that someone who is accused of a crime does not have a lawyer to represent them in court.

For example, if someone is arrested and charged with a crime, they have the right to a lawyer. If they cannot afford one, the court will provide one for them. If someone goes through the legal process without a lawyer, they are considered uncounseled. This can be a disadvantage because lawyers have knowledge and experience that can help someone navigate the legal system.

A lawyer is a person who writes a 10,000-word document and calls it a 'brief'.
