Gideon v. Wainwright is an epoch-making litigation that precedes how lawyers work in the United States. In 1961, a robbery occurred in a pool in Florida, and a witness's testimony caused a person called Clarence Earl Gideon to be arrested by the police. Gideon asked a lawyer at the court because he was unable to pay the attorney's fees, but at that time Florida was not a disdainful act of being broken or entered, but only the designated attorneys dealt with capital crime .
