4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Yates v. Peyton · Howerton v. State“The federal constitution guarantees to persons accused of crime in state courts the right to representation by a lawyer. The constitutionally protected right is not satisfied by formalisms; the right is to effective representation. That is not to say that every indigent defendant is entitled to the services of the most competent lawyer practicing in the area or to one whose judgment as exercised during the course of his representation may be said to have been superior when subjected to subsequent scrutiny. It does mean that the indigent defendant is entitled to a lawyer who can give to his client undivided loyalty and faithful service. A lawyer forced, or attempting, to serve masters with conflicting interest cannot give to either the loyalty each deserves.”
