Read a random definition: D.A.

A quick definition of standby counsel:

A standby counsel is a lawyer who is appointed to be ready to represent a criminal defendant who is representing themselves in court. The standby counsel may also provide some advice and guidance to the defendant during their self-representation. They are there to step in if the defendant decides they need legal representation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Standby counsel refers to an attorney who is appointed to be prepared to represent a pro se criminal defendant if the defendant's self-representation ends. The standby counsel may also provide some advice and guidance to the defendant during the self-representation.

Example: If a criminal defendant decides to represent themselves in court, the judge may appoint standby counsel to be available in case the defendant changes their mind or needs legal assistance during the trial.

This example illustrates how standby counsel is appointed to be ready to step in and represent a defendant if they decide they need legal assistance during their trial. It is important to have standby counsel available to ensure that the defendant's right to a fair trial is protected.
