Appearing in Court in India: Challenges in Representing the Marginalised	2022	21	.pdf	application/pdf	11066	508	55	Here I have the unedifying task of quoting my own work “Law, Poverty and Legal Aid: Access to Criminal Justice”: One disincentive for a person to avail of legal aid offered is the problem of uncompensated costs that have to be incurred. In a critical study of the public defender system in the USA, Charles Silberman found that defendants, who were represented by legal aid lawyers, said ‘He’s not my lawyer, he is the legal aid’, and that in the court “when judges ask who the lawyer is in the case at hand, legal aid lawyers typically answer, ‘I’m standing up for this case,’ not ‘I’m representing this client,’ let alone ‘I’m representing Mr. Jones’” (Silberman, 1978).	cache/caste-452.pdf	txt/caste-452.txt
