“The Warren Court’s decision to expand federal habeas corpus helped fuel the criminal justice revolution of the 1960’s” (Stephens & Scheb II 2012,2008,2003). Habeas corpus is Latin for “you have the body” and the writ of habeas corpus is a “judicial order issued to an official holding someone in custody, requiring the official to bring the prisoner to court for the purpose of allowing the court to determine whether that person is being held legally” (Stephens & Scheb II 2012,2008,2003).

The Federal Court System is one of the most essential and significant functions to help settle a matter. Much work is involved in the application of a body of rules and principals of rulings. The path the Federal Courts have to take in order to be heard by the Supreme Court is a lengthy process. Given millions of disputes every year, it becomes impossible for the Federal Courts to be heard by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has jurisdictions that limit the variety of cases that are clearly defined in the Constitution. The Supreme Court has developed specific rules that within the jurisdictions will and will not hear. The Federal Court must show they have extreme and substantial evidence in the outcome of the case.

Gideon was charged with breaking and entering into a pool hall in Panama City, Florida. In the court case the judge from Florida told him that they only gave attorneys to defendants who may be charged with the death penalty. Gideon was sentenced to five years in prison; he then filed for habeas corpus saying that his sentence was unconstitutional since he didn’t have a defense attorney his trial. The

However, the Florida Supreme Court still denied his petition. Gideon did not give up. He next filed a handwritten petition to send to the United States Supreme Court. The Court agreed to hear the case and resolve the question of whether the right to counsel or the right to an attorney is guaranteed under the Sixth Amendment and applies to defendants in state

“The right to due process,” the only phrase respeated more than once in the Constitution, is guaranteed by both the fifth amendment and the fourteenth amendment. The notion that no one should be deprived of “life, liberty, or property without due process of law,” has become a crucial part of the foundation of the American legal system. Ascertaining over eleven different rights, including the right to a trial, counsel, habeas corpus, and protection from unreasonable search and seizure, the due process clause ensures that everyone is treated equally and has the same rights as any other individual involved with the judicial system. The original premise of due process dates back to 1215 to the publishing of the Magna Carta. Designed to suppress an impending revolt by King John’s disgruntled elite class, the Magna

Wainwright case was when a man, Clarence Earl Gideon was convicted of felony in Florida state court: broke through and illegally went into a poolroom with the objective to commit a misdemeanour offence. He went to court without a lawyer and requested that the court appoint him one.

Now, he had to represent himself in trial. He was sentenced to five years in prison after confirmed guilty for felony.
