The case that established the right to an attorney during questioning is Miranda v. Arizona (1966). In this landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that individuals taken into police custody must be informed of their rights, including the right to an attorney, before being interrogated. This ruling aimed to protect the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and ensure that suspects can make informed decisions about their legal representation during police questioning.
