The Miller Test is a set of three or seven attributes (depending on how you divide them up), all of which a piece of literature or other media, etc. must have to be considered legally obscene. - Taken as a whole (not just one chapter out of a book or one scene of a movie)
- Judged by the average individual (as represented by a jury, not just a group of pastors, etc.)
- Using contemporary standards (not based on what was considered obscene fifty years go)
- and community standards (what is considered acceptable in San Francisco might not be in The Bible Belt.) The material must be deemed
- patently offensive
- intended to appeal to a prurient interest in sex and
- have no social (scientific, literary, etc.) value.
