The Rise, Decline and Fall (?) of Miranda
OLLI at U-M (50+)
Speaker: Yale Kamisar, J.D., Professor of Law Emeritus, U-M
Miranda v. Arizona (1966) was the centerpiece of the Warren Court's so-called revolution in American criminal procedure. But the Warren Court disbanded more than 50 years ago. Since then, led over the decades by Warren Burger, William Rehnquist, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, Miranda has been seriously weakened in various ways. There has been a good deal of talk lately to the effect that Miranda is dead or dying -- or might as well be dead. Even some liberals have concluded that the time has come to give Miranda a respectful burial "and move on." But can Congress or the state legislatures be expected to protect the rights of those suspected of, or arrested for, serious crimes?
