To that end, many states (including yours) have instituted (or tried to institute) laws requiring welfare recipients to undergo mandatory drug tests.

To that end, I humbly propose that these programs be ...

One of the key essentials of a fair trial is availing legal representation to a defendant. This is embodied in the right to counsel. Basically, this right enables a defendant during proceedings to be aided by a lawyer at their own expense, or if unable to pay for one, at the state’s expense. The basis for this right is that a defendant may be greatly disadvantaged, especially in criminal proceedings, if they are deprived of legal representation. This right enables the defendant, through counsel, to take part actively in the pre-trial process and also the trial itself.
