You are a professor talking to a law student who is reviewing different methods used in the United States by people who wish to receive an attorney. You tell her that there are three primary methods used in the United States to provide indigents with attorneys-the assigned counsel system, the contract system, and the public defender system. The assigned counsel system appoints attorneys from a list of available private attorneys in a given jurisdiction. It is used in half of the counties in the United States, but serves less than one-third of the population. Contract systems, in contrast, involve bidding by private attorneys to represent all indigents during the term of a contract for a fixed price. Contract systems are found in counties with populations of less than 50,000 and where

there is an absolute budgetary limit on defense services for indigent defendants. The third type of system-the public defender system-uses attorneys who are employed by private or by government organizations for the purpose of representing indigent defendants. You then ask her to think about the reasons each method might be used-what particular situation could be best suited to each method? Why? What will be an ideal response?
