In honor of the 50th anniversary of the right to counsel landmark decision on March 18, 1963 (Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 83 S. Ct. 792 (1963)), the Supreme Court and members of the public defense community have collected some links to educational materials to honor the anniversary. We are hoping you will join us in commemorating this event in your community this Law Day.

We enclose these links to assist you in accessing these materials to plan your programs.
