Free Justice
Author: Sara Mayeux
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469656035
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Every day, in courtrooms around the United States, thousands of criminal defendants are represented by public defenders--lawyers provided by the government for those who cannot afford private counsel. Though often taken for granted, the modern American public defender has a surprisingly contentious history--one that offers insights not only about the "carceral state," but also about the contours and compromises of twentieth-century liberalism. First gaining appeal amidst the Progressive Era fervor for court reform, the public defender idea was swiftly quashed by elite corporate lawyers who believed the legal profession should remain independent from the state. Public defenders took hold in some localities but not yet as a nationwide standard. By the 1960s, views had shifted. Gideon v. Wainwright enshrined the right to counsel into law and the legal profession mobilized to expand the ranks of public defenders nationwide. Yet within a few years, lawyers had already diagnosed a "crisis" of underfunded, overworked defenders providing inadequate representation--a crisis that persists today. This book shows how these conditions, often attributed to recent fiscal emergencies, have deep roots, and it chronicles the intertwined histories of constitutional doctrine, big philanthropy, professional in-fighting, and Cold War culture that made public defenders ubiquitous but embattled figures in American courtrooms.

Federal Habeas Corpus
Author: Andrea D. Lyon
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 590
Book Description
Habeas corpus law changed dramatically after Congress passed the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) in 1996. This new book provides a comprehensive view of the latest developments in the field and will continue to be supplemented as Congress passes new legislation and as courts try to make sense of how that legislation affects habeas law. After providing a background on the history of habeas corpus and an overview of common habeas corpus claims, the book examines subject matter jurisdiction, habeas corpus litigation, clemency, stays of execution, and innocence. The book concludes by examining the future of habeas corpus litigation. While this book is primarily intended for law students, it will be useful for attorneys specializing in post-conviction and habeas work. It will also be a valuable addition to the libraries of appellate public defenders across the country. A teacher's manual is available.
