Convicted criminals commonly assert a 6th Amendment ineffective assistance of counsel argument in their appeals. These arguments are directly in line with the ethical obligation of competence as outlined in Rule 1.1. The Supreme Court delivered a detailed analysis of how an attorney's performance in representing a criminal defendant should be assessed in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984). Do you agree or disagree with the standard they set forth and why? If you agree with the court, do you feel any defendant could ever establish a successful ineffective assistance of counsel claim?
