[PAST EVENT] Wythe Lecture: Professor Christine Jolls, "Privacy and Consent Over Time"
March 21, 2012
3:30pm - 4:30pm
The "right to be let alone" - to have and maintain one's privacy - has always been limited by the desire of most of us not to be left entirely alone. Thus, consent has long played a central role in determining the scope of both 4th Amendment search-and-seizure rights and other rights to privacy. The common law of privacy has offered a consistent and behaviorally sound approach to consent that can clarify and anchor 4th Amendment law's treatment of consent. GPS monitoring, hard drive imaging, and other government surveillance can be usefully examined through the lens of the common law.
