Task: Questioning Juveniles






          Fare v. Michael C. , 442 U.S. 707 (1979).





               In determining whether or not a juvenile is capable of waiving their

               rights under Miranda a totality of circumstances approach is taken:

               which considers the:


          • Age


          • Education

          • Experience


               A juvenile’s request  for someone other than an attorney is not an

               invocation of Miranda but may be considered as part of the totality of

               circumstances approach.
