In this episode, we’re covering Confessions, Right to Counsel, and Miranda Rights - three closely related Criminal Procedure topics that frequently appear together on the bar exam. Over the next few minutes, we’ll walk through: when a confession is considered voluntary the critical stages at which a defendant is entitled to right to counsel Miranda warnings and when they are required These rules can get tricky because the Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to counsel operate differently . A major part of solving these questions is identifying which constitutional protection applies, when it attaches, and what the police may do after a suspect invokes a right. As you listen, focus especially on the trigger for Miranda: custodial interrogation - and remember that invocation, waiver, and reinitiation of questioning each have their own rules.
