The right to a lawyer is a cornerstone of the accused's defense and plays a crucial role in guaranteeing a fair trial by maintaining a procedural balance between the rights of the accused, the victim, and society. This fundamental right is recognized in key international and regional instruments, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966) and the European Convention on Human Rights (1950). This article examines the scope and dynamics of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (the Strasbourg Court) in defining this right as an integral component of a fair trial. It further analyzes the extent of this jurisprudence's impact on the domestic legal systems of the Convention's member states.
