👉 In the context of criminal law and legal proceedings, bailsmen are individuals who act as intermediaries between a defendant and the court system. They provide legal representation to the defendant and represent them in court proceedings. Bailsmen may be appointed by the judge or a magistrate to ensure that the defendant is present during all relevant proceedings, including plea negotiations, trials, and appeal processes. They also have the responsibility of representing the defendant's interests and ensuring that they receive fair treatment under the law.
