Definition
The "Right to Effective Assistance of Counsel" refers to an individual's entitlement not only to legal representation but to representation that is competent and effective. It means that a lawyer must perform adequately and any significant failure in this duty can lead to a violation of a defendant's rights, potentially resulting in reversals of convictions or other legal remedies.
