The Sixth Amendment of the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution specifies that a person shall have the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where the crime is alleged to have been committed. It also states that the accused has the right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of Counsel for the defence.
As a criminal defense attorney you will be much more successful if you can relate to your client and can understand, not just the legal issues involved in the case, but the human issues as well.
Shalom!
Peace Be With You!
