By 1995, as a result of cases like Scott v. Illinois, the range of indigent clients that you could represent as appointed counsel has expanded to include which of the following:
In the year 2035, you graduate from law school at Emmett Brown Polytechnic University.
The university’s “Department of Space-Time Inquiry” decides to send you back to the year
1935 in its newly-created time machine. Unfortunately, the machine malfunctions and you
enter a cycle that has you bouncing from the year 1935 to the year 1965 to the year 1995.
At each stop, you land in a public defender’s office. Your ability to return to your normal
life in 2035 is dependent on your ability to successfully assist three indigent criminal
defendants—one at each of your time travel stops. If you can accomplish this task, the
cycle of time travel will be broken. Thankfully, your legal education has afforded you an
exceptional knowledge of case law related to the “right to counsel”—and this will come in
handy!
