    Product Description

    The law of search and seizure is challenging and ever evolving. This program trains lawyers on the practical and legal aspects of the admissibility of evidence obtained via searches conducted both with and without warrants. The faculty discusses both federal and Massachusetts law. In order to appropriately argue these issues in court, it is necessary for practitioners to have a solid grasp of the different analysis of search issues under both the United States Constitution and the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights.

    Governmental searches of electronic data from computers, cell phones, and web sites are described as well as the requirements for a search warrant to issue. The program consists of presentations on the practical and legal aspects of searches as well as the use of hypothetical fact patterns with mock arguments by expert litigators and rulings from a Superior Court Judge. Participants have the opportunity to weigh in on how the Judge should rule based on their newfound understanding of the relevant law.
