Rounding up some public defender commentary on Gideon‘s 60th anniversary

I saw a lot of interesting headlines in recent days in conjunction with the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Gideon v. Wainwright.  Here is a sampling from various sources:

From Fox News, “Supreme Court’s ‘Gideon‘ ruling at 60 and the right to counsel: In their own words“

From the Los Angeles Times, “Criminal defendants’ right to counsel still shortchanged in much of California“

From NPR, “You have the right to a lawyer, but public defenders note a lack of resources, respect“

Oregon Public Broadcasting, “A constitutional crisis in Oregon’s criminal justice system continues, 60 years after landmark US Supreme Court decision“

The Sixth Amendment Center, “The State of the Nation on Gideon’s 60th Anniversary“

From Teen Vogue, “Gideon v. Wainwright Was a Landmark Decision, But Women Invented the Idea of the Public Defender“

From the US Courts, “60 Years Later, Gideon’s Legacy Lives On“

From the US Department of Justice, “Justice Department Commemorates the 60th Anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright“
