The U.S. Supreme Court will decide this year whether to overturn Miranda v. Arizona, the landmark case that requires the police to read suspects their rights.
Admission is free and open to the public, and the press is welcome.
No reservation is required. Professor Cassell's lecture is presented as part of the Stranahan National Issues Forum, an ongoing lecture series presented by the College of Law and the Federalist Society. The Stranahan National Issues Forum has brought many important speakers to the College, and Professor Cassell's talk will stimulate lively debate. Miranda is as important a case as you'll ever see, and we're glad to be a part of this national conversation. Professor Cassell's appearance in the Supreme Court comes after he persuaded a federal appeals court that Congress had overruled Miranda with a little-known statute it passed in 1968.
