Since Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U. S. 335 (1963), it has been clear that a defendant pleading guilty to a felony charge has a federal right to the assistance of counsel. See White v. Maryland, 373 U. S. 59 (1963); Arsenault v. Massachusetts, 393 U. S. 5 (1968). It has long been recognized that the right to counsel is the right to the effective assistance of counsel. See Reece v. Georgia, 350 U.

Society is meant to structure cooperation in ways that guide people to treat others fairly. Although some people would probably act in reasonable ways even without a legal system, laws are procedurally necessary for the existence of the state. Bradley

In the absence ... treat others fairly.

Any political system must therefore require individuals to accept restrictions on liberty. It follows that crimes are wrong because the criminal acts unfairly towards society as a whole. Bradley 2

Also, fair procedures promote a functioning criminal justice system, which is critical given the state’s obligation to structure cooperation in a non-arbitrary manner. Meares:

I contend that attorney client privilege should be maintained because effective legal representation for the defense is more important than a victory for the prosecution.

Effective legal representation is key to fair procedures since clients by themselves have a lack of knowledge about the legal system, whereas agents like the state have an automatic advantage. Alschuler:

Moreover, we can never understand the nature of morality unless we first know who we have obligations to. This means that interrogating power structures must come first because it is the power structures that frame whose lives count.
