United States Constitution and Criminal Procedure
LAW 604 - Criminal Procedure
Arizona State University
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to provide a brief legal analysis of the United States
Constitution from the point of criminal procedure regulation. The analysis is supported by the
description of several pivotal appeal cases. The appellate case decisions, included in the
paper, explain the historical evolution of procedural doctrines. The view of the role of the
judiciary and the rule of law in society is also provided in the paper.
Introduction
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.
This highlights a dynamic dimensionality of procedural doctrines, as the Supreme Court
rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).
The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.
The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).

free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.
This highlights a dynamic dimensionality of procedural doctrines, as the Supreme Court
rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).

The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.

establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.
This highlights a dynamic dimensionality of procedural doctrines, as the Supreme Court
rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).
The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.

property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.

rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).

The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).

The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.
This highlights a dynamic dimensionality of procedural doctrines, as the Supreme Court
rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).

In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.
This highlights a dynamic dimensionality of procedural doctrines, as the Supreme Court
rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).

The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).

The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.
The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.

safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.
This highlights a dynamic dimensionality of procedural doctrines, as the Supreme Court
rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).

The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in

The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.
The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.

the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.
This highlights a dynamic dimensionality of procedural doctrines, as the Supreme Court
rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).
The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.
The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal

The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.
The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.

are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.
This highlights a dynamic dimensionality of procedural doctrines, as the Supreme Court
rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).
The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.
The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).

The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.
The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the

The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.
This highlights a dynamic dimensionality of procedural doctrines, as the Supreme Court
rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).
The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.
The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).

which is outlined in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments as the privilege against self-
incrimination (The Constitution of the United States, amend. V; The Constitution of the
United States, amend. VI). In Miranda v. Arizona appeal case, it was established that the
police must warn the defendant about their rights before questioning (Miranda v.
Arizona,1966, par. 2). These court cases provide insight into the evolution of law.
The Supreme Court, in particular, has shown to provide procedural history. The rulings of
these cases directly affected the way the criminal law was enacted in the following years.

rulings changed the way the judicial system administered justice (Ho & Ross, 2010, p. 650).
The law is responding to the changing ideas and infuses the old and the new, thus allowing
our society to progress.
The judiciary, or the system which oversees delivering justice, plays a pivotal role in a
democratic society (Piersol, 2007, p. 444). A democratic society relies on the rule of law to
establish justice and protect human rights. In other words, democracy is a government limited
by law. The judicial system, which encompasses a network of courts, acts as a mechanism
that upholds order by applying the law to resolve disputes and provide justice to parties
involved in an argument. “By marshaling and defending the best concepts of the past, the law
affords civilized society the all-essential qualities of stability and order” (White, 1959, p.
198).
The judicial system plays an important part in administering justice and governing the
constitutional rights of US citizens. In order to ensure that all stages of the case processing
are conducted without prejudice, a number of laws were established to govern the criminal
procedure.
Criminal procedure is a term that describes the broad set of rules overseeing the processing of
a criminal case (Ingram, 2008). These rules are outlined in several sources of law including
the US constitution. The US constitution establishes the basic rules regarding case
processing, outlines pre-trial and trial procedures, the role of Jury and a Grand Jury,
safeguards the rights of the convicted, and covers such issues as double jeopardy and the
death penalty. Provisions that regard the law of criminal procedure are mainly outlined in
Amendments IV to VII.
In addition, Amendment XIV establishes that no person can be deprived “of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law” (The Constitution of the United States, amend. XIV).
The provisions affect federal courts in their entirety, and only fundamental rights are
protected by these provisions in state courts. One of these fundamental rights is the right to be
free of unreasonable searches and seizures which is outlined in the Fourth Amendment.
In Mapp v. Ohio appeal case the Supreme Court established that if evidence was gathered in
violation of the US constitution, it is considered inadmissible (Mapp v. Ohio, 1961, par. 1).
Another fundamental right is the defendant’s understating of their rights to remain silent,
