Third year student, Illan Moshe-Romano’s article, “Is Miranda on the Verge of Extinction? The Supreme Court Loosens Miranda’s Grip in Favor of Law Enforcement” will be published in the March issue of the Nova Law Review. The article contains a detailed look into the purpose, policy, scope and development and of the Miranda warning requirement used during custodial police interrogations and how it has become ingrained in our criminal jurisprudence.
The article has an in-depth examination of three Supreme Court decisions rendered in 2010 including Florida v. Powell, Maryland v. Shatzer and Berghuis v. Thompkins that challenge the long-standing Miranda warning requirements and its underlying purpose.
Lastly, the article analyzes whether the Court’s most recent opinions do or do not pose a threat to the viability of Miranda.
