Yet if no lawyer is available for a suspect who wants one, the police cannot ask him a thing. Equally...
...weighing the objections, Judge Alexander discounted the fear of feder al control since "it is clear that the local communities are the ones to initiate a program, design it, and then operate it after it is founded." He pointed out that lawyers who already serve the poor on a contingency basis need have no fear of financial loss, since the C.L.S. would not take cases normally handled by lawyers for a contingent fee.
