	Lawyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Legal advice is the application of abstract principles of law to the concrete facts of the client's case in order to advise the client about what they should do next.
		The legal profession was abolished in Prussia in 1780 and in France in 1789, though both countries eventually realized that their judicial systems could not function efficiently without lawyers.
		They had to uphold the legal fiction that they were merely an ordinary citizen generously helping out a friend for free, and thus they could never organize into a real profession — with professional associations and titles and all the other pomp and circumstance — like their modern counterparts.

	Politics: Right to Legal Counsel
		At the time of Gideon’s trial in the Florida court the right to legal counsel ensured by the Sixth Amendment was only applicable to federal cases, and states had the right to handle the matter of the appointment of legal counsel to the defense in state cases at their discretion (Asch, 135).

		The only instance in which Counsel could be appointed to defendants under Florida law was in capital cases, and thus the reason for the denial of Gideon’s request for Counsel (Asch 135).
