Synopsis
"Litigating under the Fourth Amendment requires courage and persistence," according to Inga L. Parsons author of Fourth Amendment Practice and Procedure. "The defense attorney s role is an especially important one," she says, "and should not be marginalized because of post-9/11 national security concerns such as the passage of the Patriot Act." Indeed given the scaling back of fundamental privacy rights of all American citizens, Fourth Amendment litigation is more important than ever today. In Fourth Amendment Practice and Procedure, Parsons provides a practical, comprehensive, and up-to-date guide for litigating issues under the Fourth Amendment at every stage of a criminal case from the first meeting with a client, to the arraignment, negotiations, pretrial motions, hearings, trial, and post-trial proceedings. Organized for busy practitioners who need quick references, Fourth Amendment Practice and Procedure can be easily carried in a briefcase for the initial client interview, subpoenaing witnesses, or cross-examining the detaining officer. There are specific chapters on litigating warrants, the Exclusionary Rule, and the major exceptions to the warrant requirement including the automobile exception, border searches, and technological searches. The Motion Practice section takes the lawyer step by step through the stages of filing and blue-backing motions to suppress evidence. Each chapter provides analysis and strategies on tough legal questions such as when does an investigatory stop become an arrest.
