You are a law student faced with a project involving some intrinsically motivated questions. Follow the prompt outlined by your professor: Based on the Warren Court decisions, you know that defendants are entitled to a court-appointed lawyer, even if they cannot afford one. This occurred in the 1960s. Do you feel this was a fair decision? Further, should all lawyers be affordable and available to all defendants? Or should lawyers be allowed to set their own rates, so that some may not be able to afford a particular lawyer? Do you that the Warren Court decisions were necessary? Should defendants have to accept that they cannot file for appeal because they cannot afford the expense? Explain.
