Abstract

In Kowalski v. Tesmer, the Supreme Court held that attorneys lack standing to assert the rights of indigent criminal defendants.1t The Court's application of its prudential rules of standing presents great concern, as it leaves thirty years of precedent in doubt. This Note examines the parameters of the Court's prudential standing requirements and the great shift in thirdparty standing after Kowalski.1
