Answer:

In the United States, a public defender is an attorney-at-law appointed by the courts and provided by the state or federal governments to represent and advise those who cannot afford to hire a private attorney.[1][2][3] Public defenders are full-time attorneys employed by the state or federal governments.[1] The public defender program is one of several types of criminal legal aid in the United States.[3]
