Gideon v. Wainwright Commemoration
In observance of the 50th Anniversary of the landmark case of Gideon v. Wainwright, the ABA Section of Litigation has created a website with resources to educate, inform and commemorate this historic event. Included as part of the materials is video of a recent program featuring rare, vintage video footage of Clarence Gideon himself. The video also features a roundtable discussion moderated by Joanne A. Epps, Dean of Temple Beasley School of Law and include panelists Professor Bruce Jacob, Dean Emeritus and Professor of Criminal law at Stetson Law School, who argued the case 50 years ago in the United States Supreme Court for the State of Florida and the Honorable Carlos Martinez, a public defender for the 11th Judicial Circuit in Florida (Miami-Dade County) who describes the reality of public defender work today.
