As so often demonstrated on Law & Order, all suspects are entitled to Miranda warnings while in police custody. But how do we determine when someone is "in custody" for the purpose of a 5th Amendment Miranda analysis? Is age a relevant consideration when contemplating a "reasonable person" in the same circumstances? The Supreme Court will decide on this issue this spring.

While the evocative image of Darfur - widespread displacement and killing in the middle of vast deserts in western Sudan - has captured attention throughout the U.S. and the world, advocacy campaigns and activist efforts have not always addressed the thornier questions Darfur poses regarding genocide, international criminal law and the future of Sudan. On multiple occasions U.S. governmental officials have referred to Darfur as a genocide but did not view such a determination as requiring legal action. What does this mean for the doctrine of the "responsibility to protect"?
