indigency

Read a random definition: N.

A quick definition of indigency:

Indigency: When someone doesn't have enough money to live on, it's called indigency. This means they are very poor and can't afford basic things like food, shelter, and clothing. If someone is accused of a crime and can't afford a lawyer, they are also considered indigent. The court will appoint a lawyer for them so they can have a fair trial.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The state or condition of a person who lacks the means of subsistence; extreme hardship or neediness; poverty. For purposes of the Sixth Amendment right to appointed counsel, indigency refers to a defendant's inability to afford an attorney.

Example: John was unable to pay for his basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. He was living in extreme poverty and was unable to afford an attorney to represent him in court. Therefore, he was considered indigent and was provided with a court-appointed attorney.

Explanation: The example illustrates the definition of indigency as it shows a person who lacks the means of subsistence and is living in extreme poverty. It also shows how indigency is related to the Sixth Amendment right to appointed counsel, where a defendant who cannot afford an attorney is provided with one by the court.
