Foreword: From Miranda to sec 3501 to Dickerson to

An introduction to the symposium From Miranda to Section 3501 to Dickerson to... is presented. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Chief Justice's opinion in Dickerson v. US (2000), written a quarter-century after he wrote the opinion of the Court in Michigan v. Tucker (1974), reads almost as if he recently reread Justice Douglas's dissent in Tucker and, on further reflection, decided that Douglas was right after all. Indeed, the Chief Justice's comments in Dickerson read almost as if he recently reread the Miranda opinion itself and discovered facts about Miranda and its companion cases and language in the Miranda opinion that he had not noticed before.
