Part A:
Read the article, "Miranda is not the Problem: Police Deception Is," by Dave Kopel regarding police interrogation. It is understood that this article could be slanted one way or the other, but for the moment let's agree that the information is true, and if so, what are your thoughts about the interrogation methods and if they violate any ethical principles?
Part B:
The author discusses "Lawyers and Ethics" and provides a number attorney privileged relationships.
Situation:
You are a court appointed attorney for an alleged murderer. During one of your attorney - client meetings, the accused discloses the fact one week ago he abducted a 5 year old boy from a local playground, murdered him and buried the remains behind his house. After your interview with him, you find an article in a local newspaper where a mother is pleading for information about her missing son.
You are currently faced with an ethical dilemma. The information you received was provided in confidence during an attorney-client meeting, and you would be disbarred if you revealed this information.
Your assignment is to write a response on what you would do in this situation. The response you provide is to be supported by research and should be written at a graduate level.
