Answer:

The correct answer is A(n) <u>contractor</u> is an attorney, nonprofit organization, or private law firm that contracts to provide legal services to indigent defendants for a specific fee, while a(n) <u>public defender</u> is a court-appointed private attorney representing indigent defendants.

Explanation:

The Sixth Ammendment to the Constitution states that any person that has been charged with a crime has the right to counsel. Nevertheless, many people can't afford to pay for an attorney. In 1930, the Supreme Court extended the right to an attorney when people couldn't afford one in federal criminal cases; by 1960 it extended to state cases too.

The term contractors refers to the attorney, law firm,  associated attorneys or firms, or organization (nonprofit or for-profit) that provides representation to indigent persons under contract (Contract Attorney System).

The Public Defender System allows for public defenders to work independently. Within this program, Public Defenders are appointed by court to cases.

Sav [38]
Saint Thomas would most likely said that the only reason he conducted the 'homophobic actions' was because it violate the rules of God.
In that time, this kind of defense was perfectly plausible since the Church at that time had a huge influence in the Government. But our time, this type of reason wouldn't be plausible.

patriot [66]

The answer is pathetic.  When you feel pathetic, it makes you vulnerable. It is when you feel that a person has no importance for you and that is what creates it pathetic, if a person you like and he or she doesn't like you the same way. It isn't a good emotion, it destroys and makes someone depressed.
