The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals---the federal court with jurisdiction over Utah---reaffirmed the longstanding principle that a litigant in a discrimination case does not have a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel. In Grisby v. Boeing Corporation, the Court stated that the United States Constitution does not guarantee a civil litigant a right to effective assistance of counsel. It reaffirmed that the proper course for civil litigants to pursue for relief against allegedly ineffective attorneys is to bring malpractice claims.Labels: Discrimination, Tenth Circuit
