Abstract

This Article critiques the Supreme Court's decision in Nix v. Whiteside. The author argues that, in its analysis, the majority failed to adequately consider the applicable state laws governing a lawyer's professional responsibilities, and instead sought to impose a broader vision of professional standards for the legal profession.
