Article 37-2

第三十七条の二

If a detention warrant is issued against a suspect and the suspect is unable to appoint a defense counsel due to indigence or any other grounds, a judge must appoint a defense counsel for the suspect upon request; provided, however, that this does not apply when the defense counsel is appointed by a person other than the suspect, or the suspect is released.

被疑者に対して勾留状が発せられている場合において、被疑者が貧困その他の事由により弁護人を選任することができないときは、裁判官は、その請求により、被疑者のため弁護人を付さなければならない。ただし、被疑者以外の者が選任した弁護人がある場合又は被疑者が釈放された場合は、この限りでない。

A request under the preceding paragraph may also be made by a suspect whose detention has been requested.

前項の請求は、勾留を請求された被疑者も、これをすることができる。
