UNIVERSAL PUBLIC DEFENSE |
60 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 661 (Spring, 2025) |
This Article introduces a provocative thought experiment: state-funded counsel as a universal mandate for all people facing criminal charges. Said another way, universal public defense for everyone, even defendants who could otherwise afford representation. The Sixth Amendment currently protects the right to counsel of choice for people who can... |

(Received 22 November 2023; revised 17 September 2024; accepted 29 September 2024) How do sociolegal scholars who liken monetary sanctions to bleeding a turnip or drawing blood from stones reconcile these idioms with the fact that fines and fees constitute a growth industry?

To point out merely the defects as they appear today will be of little benefit to the present and future generations. These things must be viewed in their historic setting. The conditions of today have been determined by what has taken place in the past, and in a careful study of this history we may see more clearly the great theatre of events in... |

Florida's education rules list Holocaust denial and critical race theory (CRT) as theories that distort the past. This is not a fair comparison.
