Of course, that's not all cases. The "Miranda" case was actually genuine.
Gideon v Wainwright, which got defendants the unqualified right to an attorney in criminal cases, is another example. Gideon was just literally some guy falsely accused of a crime who figured out how to appeal from his jail cell.
I kinda love that one. It's got a real homely feel to it. Very much feels like a "good old boy" who went to jail, and doesn't know why.
To be honest, the law and judicial procedure should be simple enough that no one needs an attorney. However, that bridge was burned, sunk, then hit by a meteor, so you really do need an attorney provided to you if you go to court.
