Writing Homework Help

I’m working on a law project and need support to help me learn.

Watch the following video on Gideon v. Wainwright.

This video is from CBS news in the early 1960’s soon after the decision in the case.

Write a brief 2-3 page paper about the case. Include a brief summary about the case and do you think all criminal defendants should have an attorney paid for by the state if necessary. What do you think about the ability to fairly defend yourself with out an attorney. Also consider when a person wants to act as their own attorney, should they be able to do so. Also consider Clarence Gideon who filed his petition to the US Supreme Ct with a 8th grade education and without the help of an attorney.
