The text contains a concise, yet substantial account of the historical development of the right to counsel in England and America. A thorough and detailed analysis of all aspects and details of the relevant U.S. Supreme Court's doctrine gives concrete content to the right to assistance of defense counsel.; Scholars and students of the United States Constitution, along with attorneys and lay readers, can expect to gain a rich understanding of the meaning and importance of the Sixth Amendment to our constitutional order through this comprehensive overview of one of the cornerstones of America's constitutional and legal order. Starting with a thorough historical account of the Sixth Amendment, Tomkovicz then moves on to an extensive analysis of the nature and character of the right to counsel, the scope of the right to the assistance of counsel, and the content of the right to the assistance of counsel. An extensive bibliographic essay concludes the book, placing the relevant literature in historical and intellectual context.
