On March 31, 2010, the United States Supreme Court rendered the most significant sixth amendment decision since Gideon v. Wainwright. In Padilla v. Kentucky, the Court held that the right to effective assistance of counsel includes the duty of counsel to give advice regarding the immigration consequences which flow from criminal dispositions. This book and audio CD set examines the practical effects of Padilla by working through hypotheticals designed to provide a model for representation of the non-citizen criminal defendant.
