Most-quoted passages

“The benchmark ... must be whether counsel’s conduct so undermined the proper functioning of the adversarial process that the trial cannot be relied on as having produced a just result. The defendant must show both that his counsel’s performance was deficient and that it prejudiced the defense. This second point requires a showing that the outcome of the trial would have been different but for counsel’s errors.”
