For the criminal justice system to work, adequate resources must be available for police, prosecutors and public defense. This timely, incisive and important book by Professor Norman Lefstein looks carefully at one leg of the justice system's "three-legged stool"public defenseand the chronic overload of cases faced by public defenders and other lawyers who represent the indigent. Fortunately, the publication does far more than bemoan the current lack of adequate funding, staffing and other difficulties faced by public defense systems in the U.S. and offers concrete suggestions for dealing with these serious issues.

Every day, in courtrooms around the United States, thousands of criminal defendants are represented by public defenders--lawyers provided by the government for those who cannot afford private counsel. Though often taken for granted, the modern American public defender has a surprisingly contentious history--one that offers insights not only about the "carceral state," but also about the contours and compromises of twentieth-century liberalism. First gaining appeal amidst the Progressive Era fervor for court reform, the public defender idea was swiftly quashed by elite corporate lawyers who believed the legal profession should remain independent from the state. Public defenders took hold in some localities but not yet as a nationwide standard. By the 1960s, views had shifted. Gideon v. Wainwright enshrined the right to counsel into law and the legal profession mobilized to expand the ranks of public defenders nationwide. Yet within a few years, lawyers had already diagnosed a "crisis" of underfunded, overworked defenders providing inadequate representation--a crisis that persists today. This book shows how these conditions, often attributed to recent fiscal emergencies, have deep roots, and it chronicles the intertwined histories of constitutional doctrine, big philanthropy, professional in-fighting, and Cold War culture that made public defenders ubiquitous but embattled figures in American courtrooms.

"The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

The ability to prove one's innocence SHOULD NOT DEPEND on how much money the defendant has. TRUTH should not be something that is bought. And yet, money is far too often what makes the difference between a successful legal defense, and prison time. If you have been arrested, the bad news is that the court will appoint a lawyer for you. This is not good news because the court pretends that as long as you have a lawyer, justice will be served. But a court-appointed attorney typically does more harm than good. This book explains why, and what to do about it. TRUTHS THAT THE SYSTEM WOULD PREFER YOU DIDN'T KNOW Would you believe that, given the choice between keeping you out of prison for ten years or saving himself a few hundred dollars, a court-appointed attorney will choose the money virtually every time? Yes, ten years. Or that at least ten thousand Ohio inmates would not be in prison today if Ohio courts correctly applied the law? Yes, ten thousand. OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS BROKEN, AND THERE'S NO MONEY TO FIX IT This book shows one man's walk through a dysfunctional justice system, and the author gives it to you straight, like no attorney could without putting his license in jeopardy, and like no one else could who hasn't lived it. If you have been arrested and don't know what to do, this book will help you find the answers you seek; get cooperation from your court-appointed attorney; keep the system from violating your rights; get excessive charges removed from the indictment; file motions in the courts; and process your appeals. It's the must-have book for the twenty-first century.
