Portuguese term

...ciente que caso (o réu) permaneça inerte será nomeado defensor dativo ....

Portuguese to English Law/Patents Law (general) Criminal law
My main concern would be in relation to "defensor dativo". Is there a more specific term in the US Law or can I translate it
as a defense counsel appointed by law?
Thanks for any clarification.
kind regards,

...Being aware that, if the defendant remains unresponsive, a defense counsel will be appointed.

Se se está tratando de um documento brasileiro, os termos "Defensor Público" e "Defensor Dativo" NÃO são intercambiáveis. O primeiro é um profissional de carreira, nomeado após aprovação em concurso público, para a prestação de serviços jurídicos a pessoas que não podem custeá-los. O segundo é qualquer advogado registrado na OAB que for nomeado pelo juiz em um processo criminal para atuar (naquele processo apenas) em proveito de um acusado.

Obrigado Rocha, estava justamente atrás desta explicação. Trata-se de uma carta rogatória que se destina aos E.Unidos, mas é importante se ter uma noção exata dos termos em ambos os países. :)

Ou poderia também usar o termo "COURT-APPOINTED ATTORNEY" que é o mesmo que "PUBLIC DEFENDER". :)

...aware that if (the defendant) remains unresponsive, counsel ad litem will be appointed.

Ivan is right; a public defender is NOT the same as a "defensor dativo." While his suggestion is correct, another option would be to use the Latin term "ad litem," which means "for the purposes of the suit." (Black's Law Dictionary, eighth edition.)
