    • Abstract:
      Cell phones have become a major part of our lives, and as such, they have presented new problems for school officials. This dissertation explores the current status of Fourth Amendment Law and how courts are applying the law to the search and seizure of cell phones in schools, by reviewing cases regarding search and seizure of electronic devices, personal property, and persons in order to ascertain the relevance to the search and seizure of cell phones in schools. By reviewing the relevant history of search and seizure law in the U.S., the current status of search and seizure law in the U.S., the current status of the law concerning students use of cell phones while in public schools, and, given the history and current status of search and seizure law in the U.S., this dissertation determines what the history and current status of search and seizure law tells us about the likely future direction of the law concerning student use of cell phones while in public schools. This dissertation compiled a database of court cases that revealed the development and current status of search and seizure laws and how the courts interpret these laws in making rulings on cell phone search and seizure in public schools and predicts how courts may rule regarding searches and seizures of cell phones in schools in future cases.
