For students interested in the development of United States law about the right to counsel in the criminal context.

Gideon at UCI Law

Incoming UCI Law 1Ls have regularly been looking at Gideon's Trumpet as part of their Orientation week. This research guide provides resources and research tips for students who are interested in how to do related research. Related issues could include:

  • when exactly the right to counsel applies,
  • what it means for an appointed attorney to provide "effective" assistance, or
  • the timing requirements for consultation.
