- Washington (1984), the Court held that, on collateral review, a defendant may obtain relief if the defendant demonstrates both that the defense counsel's performance fell below an objective standard of reasonableness (the "performance prong") and that, but for the deficient performance, there is a reasonable probability that the result of the proceeding would have been different (the "prejudice prong").

- The circle of fifths is a way to arrange keys to show how closely they are related to each other.
- The circle of fifths gets its name from the fact that as you go from one section of the circle to the next, you are going up or down by an interval of a perfect fifth.
- If you go up a perfect fifth (clockwise in the circle), you get the key that has one more sharp or one less flat; if you go down a perfect fifth (counterclockwise), you get the key that has one more flat or one less sharp.
- Since going down by a perfect fifth is the same as going up by a perfect fourth, the counterclockwise direction is sometimes referred to as a "circle of fourths".
- Using the circle of fifths, we find that the most closely related major keys (one in each direction) are G major, with only one sharp, and A major, with three sharps.
