I think the United States as a whole will benefit by the attention directed to criminal trials as a result of these recent decisions."

In the section titled "Criminal Law," there is a story about 10 defendants who were convicted before the Gideon decision who should be allowed retrial on the grounds that Gideon V. Wainwright applies to them retroactively. This small section of article proves that even less than nine months later, defendants who were even convicted before the overturn are feeling the benefits of the rights gained by this ruling. Shafroth, Will. "The New Criminal Justice Act." American Bar Association Journal 50 (1964): 1049-51. Print. This source was used as a look into the opinions on the landmark case of Gideon V. Wainwright after the decision had only been made one year prior. A quote from President Kennedy about the right to counsel is used to open this Journal.

Silverstein, Lee. "The Continuing Impact of Gideon v. Wainwright on the States." American Bar Association Journal 51 (1965): 1023-26. Print. This Journal gave information on the impact Gideon V. Wainwright had two years after the landmark decision was made.

Secondary Sources Alper, Ty. "Toward a Right to Litigate Ineffective Assistance of Counsel." Washington and Lee Law Review 70.2 (2013): 839-82. Print. This journal conveys the elusive answer to the question of what to do when the provided counsel is ineffective, specifically pertaining to Martinez V. Ryan. The problem and discussion of defendants claiming that their provided counsel was inadequate is also a key point in the journal. Consequently, this source can be used to point out a major flaw in the courts efforts to responsibly provide indigents with counsel. "Avery V. Alabama case brief." Law School Case Briefs. N.p., n.d. Web. 18 Jan. 2014. This website was used to find background on the case Avery V. Alabama. It was a valuable source because there were no law journals found that mentioned this case. There are two quotes taken from the website and integrated into the project. These aided in explaining the importance of including the case in the project. Baker, Liva. Miranda: Crime, Law and Politics. N.p.: n.p., 1983. Print. On the case of Miranda V. Arizona, the author clearly states the stories of two separate but equally important people of the case from a third person view that describes each characters personal events through the time spent on the case. With this information, one can draw a clearer line between how the Miranda warning was created, and how Gideon V. Wainwright played a role in securing some of those essential rights. Barth, Alan. The Price of Liberty. New York: Viking Press, 1961. Print. One specific chapter in this book, titled "The Assistance of Counsel" is important to our topic. It goes into depth on the Scottsboro trials, and includes a summary of the court decision and case details of

Betts V. Brady. This insight can be used to elaborate on the ineffectiveness of the court to provide indigent defendants with counsel before Gideon V. Wainwright. Bibas, Stephanos. "Shrinking Gideon and Expanding Alternatives to Lawyers." Washington and Lee Law Review 70.2 (2013): 1287-308. Print. This journal stresses how unsuccessful Gideon V. Wainwright is in requiring the right to counsel. It argues that since the ruling of Gideon V. Wainwright has expanded the use of free counsel in civil cases, it has become less effective as a whole; that the right to counsel should only be exercised in the core of felonies. The journal also highlights the constraints and hardships appointed legal defense are put under, leading to overall ineffectiveness. The aforementioned journal can be used to counter-argue the importance of Gideon V. Wainwright and showcase the negative effects of the ruling. Bright, Stephen B. "Gideon Turns Fifty." Nation 8 Apr. 2013: 8-9. Print. In this journal, the author discusses the defiance of the landmark ruling of Gideon V. Wainwright. The outrageous treatment of the defendants by both the court and their appointed counsel, along with the reluctance of the states to accept responsibility and ensure equal justice, are major focal points in the article. With the vast majority inattentive to criminal courts, it becomes apparent that the long term effects of Gideon V. Wainwright are not as phenomenal as hoped; it's almost as if the ruling had never happened. Bright, Stephen B., and Sia M. Sanneh. "Fifty Years of Defiance and Resistance After Gideon V. Wainwright." Yale Law Journal 122.8 (2013): 2150-74. Print. This journal is taking a look at how the rights supposedly gained by the overturning of Betts V. Brady in favor of Gideon V. Wainwright have not been realized by this time, fifty years later. Giving many examples of cases contradictory to the belief that the right to counsel has been totally

fulfilled. The journal then sums up all the evidence to prove proponents of Gideon V. Wainwright otherwise, giving readers a look at the other side of the right to counsel argument in today's courts. Chin, Gabriel J. "Race and the Disappointing Right to Counsel." Yale Law Journal 122.8 (2013): 2236-59. Print. This journal details how discrimination still may play a role in the right to counsel even after Gideon V. Wainwright and the Civil Rights Movement. Giving examples of certain cases, the author describes how race has come into play by defendants of color being given attorneys with less experience and/or higher caseloads as opposed to their white counterparts. This document is in complete contrast to the ideals portrayed in the acceptance of Gideon V. Wainwright in that even though there is more effective means to counsel for some, there are still many who are affected negatively by other outside forces; primarily discrimination. Clendinen, Dudley. "Budget Ills Crippling Defense of Poor, Lawyers Say." New York Times [New York] 14 Nov. 1982: 28. Print. This entry in the New York Times in 1982 outlines how the current recession of the time was creating higher joblessness and poverty rates, and therefore more indigent defendants. It also portrays the lack of funds for the counsel of said defendants as an eminent disaster to the legal system. This article tells of how the effects of Gideon V. Wainwright are needed now more than ever with rising poverty and crime rates, but at the same time with fixes that allow for the compensation of the counsel to keep providing for the defendants in need. Dreyer, David J. "Dj Vu All Over Again: Turner V. Rogers and the Civil Right to Counsel." Drake Law Review 61.3 (2013): 639-65. Print. This journal highlights the similarity between Gideon V. Wainwright and Turner V. Rogers. The different parts of this journal

feature unmet duties of courts and lawyers, appointed counsel based on less legal logic, specific obstacles to a right to counsel, and asks how poor defendants will receive assistance when due process does not require it. Concluding that the long term effects of the Gideon V. Wainwright ruling are essentially insignificant in court practice today. Dewey, Mary. "Martinez V. Ryan: A Shift Toward Broadening Access to Federal Habeas Corpus." Denver University Law Review 90.1 (2012): 269-94. Print. While this journal mainly focuses on Martinez V. Ryan, it also highlights key points in several other cases, including Coleman V. Thompson and Brown V. Allen. The fundamental topic is habeas corpus review and how the right to counsel does not extend to it, along with the procedures prisoners must exhaust before petitioning to the court. The previously mentioned journal can be used to present an aspect of the court that Gideon V. Wainwright did not affect, but is still connected to. Garrett, Brandon L. "Validating the Right to Counsel." Washington and Lee Law Review 70.2 (2013): 927-59. Print. In his essay, Mr. Garrett describes how the case of Strickland V. Washington, 20 years after Gideon, brought to the attention of the Supreme Court not only the right to counsel, but the right to effective counsel. This essay expands on the idea of how even though someone may have been appointed some kind of counsel for their case, there may still be injustice towards the defendant in terms of ineffective or even harmful counsel. Through this article one can see that, even just 20 years after Gideon's case, defendants can be put into an even worse predicament by laws that were supposed to help them through their trials.

"Too Poor to Hire A Lawyer But Not Indigent: How States Use the Federal Poverty Guidelines to Deprive Defendants of Their Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel." Washington & Lee Law Review: 1173-219. Print. This journal was written in order to show how states, instead of creating their own rules for indigent defendants, fall back onto to the Federal Poverty Guidelines for the definition of an indigent defendant. In some cases, there are defendants who qualify for food stamps, but then are denied a lawyer by the court. The contents of this essay provides information on how even after Gideon V. Wainwright was concluded, there are still many instances in which injustice is still brought upon people with a lower income. Grossman, Steven P.

Irons, Peter, and Stephanie Guitton, eds. May It Please the Court. New York: The New Press, 1993. Print. This source has a chapter aptly named "Gideon V. Wainwright" and also has a chapter over Miranda V. Arizona.

"'If You Cannot Afford An Attorney, Will One Be Appointed For You?: How (Some) States Force Criminal Defendants To Choose Between Posting Bond And Getting A Court Appointed Attorney." Iowa Law Review 97.5 (2012): 1787-810. Print. In this entry, the author explains how some states have, in some ways, found discrepancies in Gideon V. Wainwright that allowed for the creation of multiple definitions of a defendant being "indigent." This led some states in coming up with a difficult ultimatum for certain defendants; they can either stay in jail and keep their court appointed counsel, or choose to post bond and lose the right to their attorney. This goes directly against Gideon V. Wainwright where all accused people have the right to a court appointed counsel in any financial circumstance. Newton, Jim.

Washington Law Review 88.1 (2013): 155-70. Print. Described in this essay is the Miranda warning and how it has become more of an

icon in law enforcement, rather than being respected as warning it was created to be to inform the accused of their rights so as to have a fair trial after charges are filed. It also includes commentary from the author depicting how the Miranda warning, other than for the acknowledgment of the rights of the individual, is used as the primary defense against involuntary self-incrimination.
