Right to counsel cases; note on effective assistance of counsel
What is rule from Gideon?
![Page 18: Presented by Joan Harrington Director, Academic ...law.scu.edu/wp-content/uploads/apd/Orientation-2012-Joan-Slides.pdf · Professional Development for all law students: Work with](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071002/5fbf536ab4e14f40100e1be4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rule: Right to counsel is the right to effective assistance of counsel. McMann v Richardson
Rule Explanation: The defendant must show:
1. The attorney’s performance was deficient when measured against an objective standard of reasonableness; and
2. The defendant was prejudiced in the sense that there was a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s deficient performance, the result of the proceeding would have been different.
![Page 19: Presented by Joan Harrington Director, Academic ...law.scu.edu/wp-content/uploads/apd/Orientation-2012-Joan-Slides.pdf · Professional Development for all law students: Work with](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071002/5fbf536ab4e14f40100e1be4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1. The attorney’s performance was deficient when measured against an objective standard of reasonableness; and
1. The defendant was prejudiced in the sense that there was a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s deficient performance, the result of the proceeding would have been different.

Law professors generally assume you will understand the rules of law when you come to class. Work to understand rules before class or come with specific questions.
Classroom discussion goes well beyond the rules, e.g.: Was the court correct in creating this rule?
Did the court correctly apply a rule?
Would the rule apply to this new set of facts?
What is the policy behind the rule? Why?

Goldilocks is lost in the woods and comes upon the house of The Three Bears. She is very hungry. Hiding, she overhears them talking about eating dinner and that they need to hurry up so they can go clubbing.
The three bears leave and Goldilocks enters their house by breaking a window. She takes food from the fridge and exits the house.
Can Goldilocks be convicted of burglary?
![Page 25: Presented by Joan Harrington Director, Academic ...law.scu.edu/wp-content/uploads/apd/Orientation-2012-Joan-Slides.pdf · Professional Development for all law students: Work with](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071002/5fbf536ab4e14f40100e1be4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
To be convicted of burglary, a person must be found to have:
Broken and entered
Into the dwelling of another
At nighttime
With the intent to commit a crime therein
(Note: commonlaw, not California, rule)

Issue Comprehension
Identification of Issues
Prioritization of Issues
What are the issues in the case against Goldilocks?
![Page 28: Presented by Joan Harrington Director, Academic ...law.scu.edu/wp-content/uploads/apd/Orientation-2012-Joan-Slides.pdf · Professional Development for all law students: Work with](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071002/5fbf536ab4e14f40100e1be4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Spot the issues by comparing the law to facts:
Did she break and enter?
Was it the dwelling of another?
Was it at night?
Did she have an intent to commit a crime ?
![Page 29: Presented by Joan Harrington Director, Academic ...law.scu.edu/wp-content/uploads/apd/Orientation-2012-Joan-Slides.pdf · Professional Development for all law students: Work with](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071002/5fbf536ab4e14f40100e1be4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The element of breaking and entering will be satisfied because…
The requirement that the burglary take place in the dwelling of another is satisfied because…
![Page 30: Presented by Joan Harrington Director, Academic ...law.scu.edu/wp-content/uploads/apd/Orientation-2012-Joan-Slides.pdf · Professional Development for all law students: Work with](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071002/5fbf536ab4e14f40100e1be4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The requirement that the crime take place at night…
What inferences can be made from the facts as to whether this took place at night?
![Page 31: Presented by Joan Harrington Director, Academic ...law.scu.edu/wp-content/uploads/apd/Orientation-2012-Joan-Slides.pdf · Professional Development for all law students: Work with](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071002/5fbf536ab4e14f40100e1be4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The requirement that Goldilocks had an intent to commit a crime…
Easier but still some inferences to be made.

In Goldilocks, we had no cases for comparison so we did not use analogy and distinction.
![Page 33: Presented by Joan Harrington Director, Academic ...law.scu.edu/wp-content/uploads/apd/Orientation-2012-Joan-Slides.pdf · Professional Development for all law students: Work with](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071002/5fbf536ab4e14f40100e1be4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
In Goldilocks, we had no policy implications presented.
