Order Description
In Bluebook format.
have attached my chapter and the subjects I need to cover in my paper.
Now that the Course Book outline has been approved, each of you are responsible for submitting a fully developed first draft of your respective chapter.
This week's editor is responsible for collecting, and editing as appropriate, the chapter first drafts from each participant. The primary editing purposes are to ensure that each of the chapters will be, when completed:
- of sufficient analytical depth when reviewed against the Writing Rubric;
- are supported by high quality resources such as statutes, case law and law review articles; and
- that the chapters will dovetail with each other well so that the Class Book will coherently flow from one to the next and contain a coherent introduction and conclusion.

LSTD 497 - Senior Seminar in Legal Studies
Thesis: In Miranda, the Supreme Court concluded that custodial interrogation creates an inherently coercive environment that violates the Fifth Amendment protection against compelled self-incrimination. In an effort to reduce the inherent coerciveness, the Court created the now famous Miranda warnings and required the government to give those warnings and obtain waivers prior to questioning. The warnings are designed in part to safeguard the right against compelled self-incrimination by ensuring custodial subjects that, if they choose to waive the right to silence, they will not have to face the government alone; they may have the assistance of counsel during questioning.
What now are our rights under the Fifth Amendment? Whether a Civil or a Criminal Case one should know what there rights are. My focus in my chapter is to highlight the Fifth Amendment and what it has done to our current legal system. From the famous Miranda Rights to Due Process the Fifth Amendment is the basis for our Rights as Citizens.
