Hearing and right to counsel

Known as the Uniform Rendition of Accused Persons Act

The act spans §§ 16–16 (27 sections).

(1) The person whose return is sought shall be brought before the judge of this state immediately upon arrest pursuant to the warrant; whereupon the judge shall set a time and place for hearing and shall advise the person of his right to have the assistance of counsel, to confront the witnesses against him, and to produce evidence in his own behalf at the hearing.
