Abstract
In this, the year of the 50th anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, we're read a lot of articles discussing the right to counsel, but none, as far as I recall, discussing the right to counsel of choice. While it may be true that there is no right to counsel of choice for those who are appointed counsel, what about those who are fortunate enough to be able to retain counsel? Isn't being entitled to counsel of your choice a logical extension of Gideon?
