Rule
A claim of ineffective assistance of counsel requires showing: (1) counsel’s performance was deficient (fell below an objective standard of reasonableness), and (2) the deficiency prejudiced the defense (reasonable probability of different outcome but for the errors).
Significance
Established the two-part Strickland test for ineffective assistance claims; the dominant standard for Sixth Amendment counsel claims.
