Quite a Summer

I've been flipping through Gideon's Trumpet to see if it offers anything helpful in my research, and stumbled upon a previously unknown bit of legal trivia: while a law student at Yale, John Hart Ely worked his 2L summer in the law offices of Arnold, Fortas, and Porter and spent two full months doing research on a little case called Gideon v. Wainwright, which Fortas would argue and win, consecrating the indigent defendant's right to counsel in state criminal cases. Ely, of course, went on to become a leading constitutional scholar.
