Double Jeopardy, Self-Incrimination, and Due Process of Law

The Fifth Amendment is one of the more complex and far-reaching amendments to the US Constitution, so this book begins by breaking down each clause one by one, explaining the legalese in uncomplicated language, thus allowing the reader to reach a full understanding of due process. It then systemically describes the impact of the Fifth Amendment clause by clause, using Supreme Court cases as real-world examples. Sidebars highlight the amendment in action and delve into some of the finer points. This book includes rich resource sections that allow for further exploration.
