Identify basic case law relevant to criminal procedure.

Identification should include explaining the concept of precedent and stare decisis and the importance of landmark cases such as

• Silverthorne Lumber Company v. United States (1920)
• Carroll v. United States (1925)
• Mapp v. Ohio (1961)
• Escobedo v. Illinois (1964)
• Miranda v. Arizona (1966)
• Terry v. Ohio (1968).

Process/Skill Questions:

• Why is Escobedo v. Illinois important for a defendant during interrogation?
• What is a Terry stop?
• What are the Miranda triggers, and how do they dictate when one must be advised of their constitutional rights?
