Simulated Case Study: Student Locker, Search and Seizure.

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right of people to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures. The privacy of individuals, including students, is therefore protected, but only after considering the interests of society. This simulated case study explores what happens when there is an alleged conflict between student rights and society rights or between student rights and school rights. The report provides the circumstances of the case, a case analysis, summary, conclusions, and recommendations. The Nebraska statute concerning student discipline is appended. (Author/JF)
