  1. Miranda v. Arizona (1966) Supreme Court Guidelines • “...The person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he or she has the right to remain silent, and that anything the person says will be used against that person in court; the person must be clearly informed that he or she has the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, and that, if he or she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent her or him…”

  2. Document Purpose • This court case ensured that a defendant must not only understand, but waive the right to consult with an attorney prior to questioning by the police or else anything stated cannot be used in court.

  3. Document Bias • The view of the document is in the favor of the defendant in that they were not clearly read their rights prior to interrogation. This abridgement of their rights was correctly challenged in the court.

  4. Outside Information/Inferences • Led to the creation of the Legal Services Corporation under the Great Society program of Lyndon Johnson. • Miranda is based on the Fifth Amendment to counsel and the Fifth Amendment to remain silent. Document Menu
