Improving State Capital Counsel Systems Through Use Of The Aba Guidelines, Robin M. Maher
Improving State Capital Counsel Systems Through Use Of The Aba Guidelines, Robin M. Maher
Hofstra Law Review
The article discusses the reported efforts to improve state capital punishment counsel systems through the use of the American Bar Association's (ABA's) "Guidelines for the Appointment and Performance of Defense Counsel in Death Penalty Cases" which have apparently been adopted by every active death penalty jurisdiction in the U.S. as of March 2014. America's criminal justice system and ineffective assistance of counsel claims in the U.S. are mentioned, along with various state supreme courts.
Overlooked Guidelines: Using The Guidelines To Address The Defense Need For Time And Money, Meredith Martin Rountree, Robert C. Owen
Overlooked Guidelines: Using The Guidelines To Address The Defense Need For Time And Money, Meredith Martin Rountree, Robert C. Owen
Hofstra Law Review
In 2003, Professor Eric M. Freedman, Reporter for the revised ABA Guidelines for the Appointment and Performance of Defense Counsel in Death Penalty Cases, observed that one of the ABA Guidelines’ central virtues was to recognize that the death penalty is expensive. Fairness in the application of the ultimate punishment requires governments to develop systems to allocate essential resources, like compensation for counsel and funds for experts and investigators. Ten years later, this Article revisits Professor Freedman’s observation by exploring the question of resources and urging counsel to increase their use of the ABA Guidelines in fighting for the irreducible …
The Aba Guidelines And The Norms Of Capital Defense Representation, Russell Stetler, W. Bradley Wendel
The Aba Guidelines And The Norms Of Capital Defense Representation, Russell Stetler, W. Bradley Wendel
Hofstra Law Review
Courts interpreting effective representation should look at authoritative statements of what counsel ought to do (such as the ABA Guidelines), rather than what may be customary among practitioners whose clients frequently end up on death row. Most cases avoid death sentences, and the standards are established by practitioners who represent capital clients successfully.

Enforcing The Aba Guidelines In Capital State Post-Conviction Proceedings After Martinez And Pinholster, Eric M. Freedman
Enforcing The Aba Guidelines In Capital State Post-Conviction Proceedings After Martinez And Pinholster, Eric M. Freedman
Hofstra Law Review
This piece, published in Part 1 of Hofstra Law Review’s symposium marking the tenth anniversary of the ABA’s Guidelines for the Appointment and Performance of Defense Counsel in Death Penalty Cases, considers the converging pressures now impelling the states to provide the effective assistance of counsel in state capital post-conviction proceedings. On the one hand, Martinez v. Ryan, 132 S. Ct. 1309 (2012) - a case that will likely be expanded to a number of additional procedural and substantive contexts - warns the states that if they fail to provide such counsel, their capital convictions will be subject to searching …

Sudden Death: A Federal Trial Judge's Reflections On The Aba Guidelines For The Appointment And Performance Of Defense Counsel In Death Penalty Cases, Mark W. Bennett
Sudden Death: A Federal Trial Judge's Reflections On The Aba Guidelines For The Appointment And Performance Of Defense Counsel In Death Penalty Cases, Mark W. Bennett
Hofstra Law Review
An experienced federal district judged discuss the role of the ABA Guidelines for the Appointment Performance of Defense Counsel in Death Penalty Cases. This includes his personal experiences from two lengthy federal death penalty trials where both defendants received the death penalty. The Guidelines were even more crucial in a 18 trial day, 28 U.S.C. 2255 proceeding, where the judge granted an new penalty phase re-trial based, in part, on significant ineffective assistance of counsel for many violations of the Guidelines and the 6th Amendment. It is a sad narrative of what can go wrong when the Guidelines are not …
The Continuing Duty Then And Now, David M. Siegel
The Continuing Duty Then And Now, David M. Siegel
Hofstra Law Review
The “new” recognition in the American Bar Association’s 2003 Guidelines for the Appointment and Performance of Defense Counsel in Death Penalty Cases of a continuing duty on the part of defense counsel to safeguard the interests of former clients by facilitating the work of successor counsel was essential to implementing post-conviction review of the effectiveness of their representation – but it was not unprecedented. Over a century before lawyers, often in capital cases, had been discharging just such a continuing duty to former clients and the article traces these historical antecedents. Making the duty in ABA Guideline 10.13 real, however, …
Ensuring Effective Counsel For Parents: Extending Padilla To Termination Of Parental Rights Proceedings, Sarah Freeman
Ensuring Effective Counsel For Parents: Extending Padilla To Termination Of Parental Rights Proceedings, Sarah Freeman
Hofstra Law Review
The increase in the number of incarcerated women, combined with the severe effects of ASFA's 15/22 rule, has dramatically increased the risk that a incarcerated mother face a termination of her parental rights. Currently, existing ethical and statutory protections have been insufficient to protect these parents’ rights to their children. However, after Padilla v. Kentucky, it is likely that there is a Sixth Amendment obligation on criminal defense attorneys to advise their clients about the effect of the criminal process on a TPR proceeding. This advice should not be limited to a mere suggestion that clients seek legal advice from …
Asocial Media: Cops, Gangs, And The Internet, James R. O'Connor
Asocial Media: Cops, Gangs, And The Internet, James R. O'Connor
Hofstra Law Review
Criminal street gangs are not a new phenomenon in America, but recent developments in technology and social interactions have changed the game -- gangs are increasingly using social media to accomplish gang objectives and commit crimes. This is no secret to law enforcement. In fact, police departments and prosecutors regularly use the Internet and social media networks to obtain incriminating evidence against gang members -- evidence that is often ruled admissible in court. Although the majority of the information seized in these investigations is highly personal and profoundly private, the details of the government’s specific data-collection and data-storage practices remain …
