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.
