Search and Seizure from the Defense Perspective

From the Oregon Federal Public Defender available at http://circuit9.blogspot.com/2006/09/search-and-seizure-update.html

The outline covers federal search and seizure cases from a defense perspective. It sets out the general state of the law and, through counterpoints to the cases restricting Fourth Amendment rights, keeps track of cases in which defendants have succeeded in suppressing evidence based on creative use of facts and law. The outline provides a starting place for research, a repository for cases that frequently are useful, and an optimistic approach to Fourth Amendment issues.
