Most popular is the public defender model. A public defender works for a non-profit whose purpose is to provide indigent defense. Public defenders existed before the landmark Gideon v. Wainwright case but have become more in demand since then.
In large cities, the most common method of providing legal representation for indigent defendants is through the public defender system. Public defenders are full-time attorneys who are employed by the state or local government to represent individuals who cannot afford to hire a private attorney.
Indigent defense is then typically provided through one or a combination of three methods: a public defender office, an assigned counsel system, or a contract system.
There are three types of indigent defense used in our court systems: assigned counsel, contract, and public defender. The type used depends on the needs of the case and location.
Created in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Courts landmark decision in Gideon v. Wainwright, this research guide collects sources related to the history, development, and current state of indigent criminal defense in the United States.

The primary goal of a criminal defense case is to ensure the defendants constitutional rights are upheld and to present a compelling argument to reduce or dismiss the charges. Defense lawyers play a pivotal role by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the prosecutions claims.
