Powerhouse Miranda Panel!
April 9, 2011
Just returned from Loyola Law School’s Fidler Institute, and a panel on Miranda. My co-panelists included the lead counsel in the Thompkins case, which determined once and for all that the right to silence must be unequivocally invoked, just like the right to counsel. The other panelists included Professor Chuck Weisselberg from Boalt, a foremost researcher on Miranda and police training.
The panel was enlightening and interesting, and I thought the audience got a real sense of the state of the protections today, and into the future. I felt like my “real world” experience was a useful addition to the theoretical portion, and was glad to contribute. Thanks to those who attended; I did see you in the audience, it was just incredibly busy and difficult to break away!
