Excerpt from The Justice of Gideon She closed the door behind her and crossed the floor quickly. She was Slender, and the wide girdle of black satin that She wore emphasised her slender ness. The Judge, smiling bashfully, bowed across his desk with mock ceremony. Take the prisoner's chair, he said. She sat down, but with no answering smile. Her manner was somewhat nervous and her grey eyes were full of concern. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

On March 18, 1963, in one of its most significant legal decisions, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Gideon v. Wainwright that all defendants facing significant jail time have the constitutional right to a free attorney if they cannot afford their own. Fifty years later, 80 percent of criminal defendants are served by public defenders. In a book that combines the sweep of history with the intimate details of individual lives and legal cases, veteran reporter Karen Houppert movingly chronicles the stories of people in all parts of the country who have relied on Gideon’s promise. There is the harrowing saga of a young man who is charged with involuntary vehicular homicide in Washington State, where overextended public defenders juggle impossible caseloads, forcing his defender to go to court to protect her own right to provide an adequate defense. In Florida, Houppert describes a public defender’s office, loaded with upward of seven hundred cases per attorney, and discovers the degree to which Clarence Earl Gideon’s promise is still unrealized. In New Orleans, she follows the case of a man imprisoned for twenty-seven years for a crime he didn’t commit, finding a public defense system already near collapse before Katrina and chronicling the harrowing months after the storm, during which overworked volunteers and students struggled to get the system working again. In Georgia, Houppert finds a mentally disabled man who is to be executed for murder, despite the best efforts of a dedicated but severely overworked and underfunded capital defender. Half a century after Anthony Lewis’s award-winning Gideon’s Trumpet brought us the story of the court case that changed the American justice system, Chasing Gideon is a crucial book that provides essential reckoning of our attempts to implement this fundamental constitutional right.

A history of the landmark case of Clarence Earl Gideon's fight for the right to legal counsel. Notes, table of cases, index. The classic backlist bestseller.

Excerpt from The Judges Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also for thou hast saved us out of the hand Of Midian. And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the lord shall rule over you.

Excerpt from Gideon Giles the Roper Such is the law of England at this very hour; and there are hundreds now living who have suffered under it. I need go no further than the case of the poor man who was imprisoned little more than a year ago for offering a work-box for sale, which he was the maker of, at Pimlico. Respecting the rest of my story I have nothing to say; truth and fiction are here blended together, to make the work readable: as doctors disguise the taste of their pills by coating them over with something palatable, so have I here covered the truth, well knowing how difficult it is to get it down in this age. Nay, I have even forborne to lead Gideon Giles through such scenes of misery as I could have done, from the circumstances into which he falls, having sacrificed the effect which might have been produced by consigning his family to the poor-house while he is in prison.

Excerpt from Gideon It is remarkable to note the number of great men who have sprung suddenly into public notice and renown from the deepest privacy and obscurity. There was no gradual dawn of events heralding their approach; but, as in some climes, the sun seems to leap instantly above the horizon, so these characters loom up as immediately before their time and generation. The world was needing them sorely, but did not know of their existence until they stood in the front ready to teach, lead and deliver, as the case might be. So we see Elisha emerging from the ranks of seven thousand faithful but equally obscure men, not one of whom was known to Elijah. John the Baptist comes up out of the Wilderness as though he was a part of its strange fruit and had been just shaken from the bough of one of its trees.
