Description
(At the instructor’s request, the date of the class has been changed to July 24.) The Supreme Court has set the parameters for American criminal procedure since the ratification of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. For better or for worse, the decisions dictate the entirety of the process of the criminal justice system. This presentation will focus on four of the most important Supreme Court cases in criminal procedure, including In re Gault (1967), Miranda v. Arizona (1967), Brady v. Maryland (1963), and Mapp v. Ohio (1961).
