Clarence Earl Gideon's petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that his denial for counsel during trial was unconstitutional under the Sixth Amendment. The petition was handwritten while Gideon was in jail. His research came entirely from the prison library. The case was heard at the Supreme Court in Gideon v. Wainwright (1963).
