James Duane (professor)

James Joseph Duane (born July 30, 1959) is an American law professor at the Regent University School of Law, former criminal defense attorney, and Fifth Amendment expert. Duane received his AB magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1981 and his JD cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1984. Duane was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society while at Harvard.

He received online attention for his "Don't Talk To Police" video of a lecture he gave in 2008 to a group of law students with Virginia Beach Police Department Officer George Bruch, in which they explain in practical terms why citizens should never talk to police under any circumstances. He clarified subsequently in 2016 that his advice does not extend to routine traffic stops. The lecture continues to be popular on YouTube and received support from security expert Bruce Schneier. By November 2021, the official release of the video (on March 20th, 2012) had received over fifteen million views. A copy of the video received over six million views before it was taken down for copyright infringement.

Using former Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson as support of his "Don't Talk to Police" advice, Duane says (among other things) that:*Even perfectly innocent citizens may get themselves into trouble even when the police are trying to do their jobs properly, because police malfeasance is entirely unnecessary for the innocent to convict themselves by mistake;*talking to police may bring up erroneous but believable evidence against even innocent witnesses; and,*individuals convinced of their own innocence may have unknowingly committed a crime which they inadvertently confess to during questioning. This follows the reasoning of Justice Robert Jackson in Watts v. Indiana.

Duane has also written about his views that there are bizarre legislative drafting errors in the Virginia Statute on Privileged Marital Communications as well as issues involving the introduction of hearsay evidence at trial (known as "bootstrapping"). Duane, a member of the advisory board of the Fully Informed Jury Association, has also written in defense of jury nullification.

Professor Duane is a descendant of Revolutionary-era leader Judge James Duane.
