Table of Contents Class Book 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. 1. Constitutional Rights, by Jill Ingersoll Fifth Amendment a. Self-Incrimination i.
