Gagnon v. Scarpelli established the right to counsel for parolees in certain situations, but also recognized limitations on that right. The court ruled that the right to counsel is not absolute and should be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration factors such as the complexity of the case and the parolee's ability to represent themselves.
