Motions For Appointment Of Counsel And The Collateral Order Doctrine, Michigan Law Review May 1985

Motions For Appointment Of Counsel And The Collateral Order Doctrine, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that denials of motions for appointment of counsel should be immediately appealable under the collateral order exception to 28 U.S.C. ยง 1291. Part I examines the extent to which the collateral order doctrine modifies the finality rule. It argues that recent Supreme Court decisions that at first appear to have narrowed the doctrine have in fact only restated it. Part II applies the collateral order doctrine to orders denying appointment of counsel, concluding that such denials qualify for immediate review. Part III argues that policy considerations support this conclusion.
