This CLE program delves into the constitutional foundations and evolving case law governing consent searches. Designed for attorneys working in criminal law, civil rights, or related fields, the course unpacks the legal standards that define voluntary consent under the Fourth Amendment and examines the procedural safeguards that must be observed during such searches.

Participants will explore key judicial precedents, the nuances of what constitutes valid consent, and the practical implications for law enforcement, defense counsel, and the courts. With a balance of theory and real-world application, this session equips legal professionals with the tools to assess, challenge, or defend the legality of consent-based searches in a variety of legal contexts.
