## Definition

The right to compulsory process is a legal principle that grants individuals involved in a criminal trial the ability to obtain witnesses or evidence in their favor through the power of the court. This right, protected by the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution, ensures that defendants have a fair opportunity to present their case and gather supporting testimony or materials, even if it requires compelling unwilling witnesses to appear in court or obtaining documents that may be difficult to acquire voluntarily.
