About This Course
When is a search truly consensual? This CLE course takes a deep dive into one of the most nuanced areas of constitutional law—searches conducted with consent. Rather than focusing solely on theory, the program connects the legal standards to their practical use in real-world scenarios.
Attendees will examine how courts interpret voluntary consent under the Fourth Amendment, with an emphasis on how procedural requirements and landmark case law shape current practice. From traffic stops to home searches, the session unpacks how consent is obtained, challenged, and evaluated in different contexts. Whether you're prosecuting, defending, or advising clients on constitutional issues, this course provides critical insight into both the legal framework and strategic considerations surrounding consent searches.
