S3, E31: Supreme Court Limits Ineffective Counsel Claims
from Law360's The Term - News & Analysis on the Supreme Court · host Law360 - Legal News & Analysis
The Supreme Court has long held that ineffective assistance of counsel gives rise to a Sixth Amendment claim, but what happens when the lawyers tasked with making such a claim are themselves ineffective? On this week’s episode of The Term we discuss how Monday's ruling in Shinn v. Ramirez will make it difficult to do anything about that. We’re also breaking down the rare loss for arbitration this week after the justices sided with a former Taco Bell worker whose overtime lawsuit had stalled in a lower court.
