The Privilege Against Compelled Self-Incrimination, John O. Sonsteng
The Privilege Against Compelled Self-Incrimination, John O. Sonsteng
Faculty Scholarship
This article examines the fifth amendment right against compelled self-incrimination, as compared to principles in confession law. These two areas of law are not the same. In 1966, however, the Supreme Court decision of Miranda v.

The popular impact of Miranda has resulted in the equating of confession law with the fifth amendment privilege. This article examines the history of the fifth amendment privilege, its application, and how it can be distinguished from other, related areas of law.
