Currently, he is the director of the Supreme Court Clinic at the
University of Pennsylvania. Professor Bibas also argued six cases
before the U.S. Supreme Court. He won a landmark U.S. Supreme Court
decision for a criminal defendant in the Padilla v. Kentucky case, a
case that held criminal defense attorneys must advise their noncitizen
clients about the deportation risk associated with a guilty plea. That
was a Professor Bibas case. He has represented dozens of other clients
before the Supreme Court, and most of those cases were pro bono
clients--clients he did not charge any fees because they couldn't
afford experienced counsel.
