During criminal cases, the Constitution guarantees the right to "trial by jury" as outlined in the Sixth Amendment. This amendment ensures that individuals accused of crimes have the right to a fair trial conducted by an impartial jury of their peers.

While the Constitution also guarantees the right to legal counsel (which implies the right to have an experienced lawyer), the quality and experience of that lawyer are not specifically guaranteed by the Constitution itself. Media coverage is not guaranteed, nor is the presence of a panel of justices during a trial (which is typically associated with appellate courts rather than trial courts).
