Assistant Defender Valerie Newman (left) of the State Appellate Defender Office recently detailed her experience of preparing for and successfully arguing a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. She did so in a presentation at Wayne State University Law School entitled “A View from the Podium: Reflections on a Supreme Court Argument.” Newman argued the 2011 case on behalf of the defendant in Lafler v. Cooper. The defendant’s lawyer wrongly advised his client to reject a guilty plea. Newman asked the court to find that the defendant was entitled to a remedy where he subsequently was found guilty after a fair trial. Welcoming Newman to the school was Wayne Law Associate Professor Anthony Dillof (right).
