I aced my criminal procedure and criminal law courses in law school and defended a few dozen accused criminals in federal and state courts. To be blunt, I don't see how anyone could possibly learn the law of self-incrimination from this chart. It's way too confusing. Maybe a Tufte acolyte could redesign it.

If you want to learn the basics of self-incrimination law, check out these two lectures from FLETC (with transcripts!): 1. https://www.fletc.gov/audio/miranda-5th-amendment-mp3 2. https://www.fletc.gov/audio/miranda-waivers-and-invocations-...

Then, read the self-incrimination chapters in the book Examples and Explanations: Criminal Procedure (The Constitution and Police). http://www.amazon.com/Examples-Explanation-Procedure-Constit...

Tada. You now know more about self-incrimination than 95% of practicing lawyers.

Separately, the lawyers at FLETC deserve real praise for their lectures. They're clear and succinct when so much legal education is muddled nonsense. Listening to their Fourth Amendment (search and seizure) lectures before my 1L Constitutional criminal procedure exam was revelatory. https://www.fletc.gov/4th-amendment-roadmap
