Register for this course
This program is supported by a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded to the National Center for Justice and the Rule of Law (NCJRL). The grant covers tuition, materials, and conference meals for 40 general jurisdiction judges and 10 limited jurisdiction judges. General jurisdiction judges will also receive up to $500 toward air travel and lodging.
This four day course provides an overall framework to analyze search and seizure issues: What is a search? When does a seizure occur? What are the types of searches and seizures? What interests are protected by the Amendment? Who has standing to challenge the intrusion? When is a search or seizure justified? When do the police need a warrant? If the Fourth Amendment has been violated, does the exclusionary rule apply? It also offers insights on motion hearings practice, detailed examination of the principles related to consent searches, and sessions on warrant issuance and review of that decision, warrant execution issues, and searches without warrants. These latter searches include exigent circumstances, community caretaking, inventory searches, automobile searches, frisks, and searches incident to arrest. In every course, there is at least one session offering some observations on an issue of particular current significance. Finally, it offers an overview of developing principles related to computers and digital evidence.
Qualifies for 2 credits toward the Judicial Studies degree and as an elective in the Certificate in Judicial Development, General Jurisdiction Trial Skills program.
