The Right Against Self Incrimination

By Kimberly Troisi-Paton

The Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination has slowly evolved into a unique American right to remain silent. This anthology examines the protection's origins in the English court system, features famous case studies of people who have pled the Fifth, and examines the future of this special right in the wake of twenty-first century legal developments.
