Sixty-three years ago, on January 15, 1963, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335 (1963). As we reflect on the meaning of the Sixth Amendment in today’s reality, an esteemed and experienced panel of experts will consider the legacy of Gideon and its implications on the legal profession, our community and our nation’s future. The panel will discuss public defender workload challenges, limitations of the court’s ability to pay appointed counsel in panel systems like federal Criminal Justice Act (CJA) attorneys, and doctrinal interpretations of the right to counsel under the Sixth Amendment.
