Court: A Retrospective. He was also the co-author of all ten editions of the casebook Modern Criminal Procedure: Cases, Comments & Questions (with Wayne R. LaFave, Jerold Israel, Orin S. Kerr, and Eve L. Brensike), and all nine editions of the casebook Constitutional Law: Cases, Comments & Questions. Over thirty Supreme Court opinions have cited Kamisar's works; and "citations to his writings by other federal courts, as well as state courts, number far into the hundreds." The first Supreme Court case to do so was Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), which found that the right to counsel enshrined in the Sixth Amendment encompassed criminal proceedings in state courts. His writings were arguably the most influential in Miranda v. Arizona (1966). He authored a long essay one year earlier in which he likened the country's legal system to a gatehouse and a mansion, which symbolized the interrogation room of a police station and the courtroom, respectively. While there were comprehensive safeguards offered in the latter venue stemming from the Fifth Amendment, there were no such safeguards in the former. He asserted that no system of justice could be sustained if it was grounded on compelled statements from the defendant. The court cited his essay in holding that a defendant had to be advised of their right to silence and right to counsel before police could question them. He was consequently dubbed the "father of Miranda". After Kamisar retired from full-time teaching at Michigan after 40 years, the Michigan Law Review published tributes to him written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Judge Harry T. Edwards of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Wayne R. LaFave, Marc Spindelman, Jerold H. Israel, Eve L. Brensike, Welsh S. White, and Jeffrey S. Lehman, among others. Kamisar joined the faculty at the University of San Diego School of Law in 2000 and became a full-time, tenured professor there in 2002. He retired from the faculty in 2011, and was a guest lecturer at the University of Washington School of Law. Personal life Kamisar was married to Joan Russell until his death. Yale had three sons David, Gordon and Jonathan with his first wife Dr. Esther Englander Kamisar who is still living. Kamisar died on January 30, 2022, at his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He was 92, and was buried at Forest Hill Cemetery. Notes External links Faculty biography from the University
