Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're focusing on criminal procedure, specifically two constitutional protections afforded to accused persons by the 5th Amendment – the privilege against self-incrimination, and Miranda rights.

In this episode we discuss:

Rules and scope of the privilege against self-incrimination
The three ways in which the privilege against self-incrimination can be eliminated
When is a suspect entitled to Miranda rights?
In what situations can Miranda rights be waived?
How to structure your essay when self-incrimination and Miranda rights are at issue
Analyzing two hypos from California bar exam criminal procedure questions
