The application of the Fourth Amendment's Exclusionary Rule has divided the Justices of the Supreme Court for nearly a century. Tracey Maclin's The Supreme Court and the Fourth Amendment's Exclusionary Rule traces the rise and fall of the exclusionary rule with insight and behind-the-scenes access into the Court's thinking. Based on original archival research into the private papers of retired Justices, Professor Maclin's analysis clarifies the motivations and thoughts that explain the Court's exclusionary rule jurisprudence. Ultimately, this book will help readers understand how constitutional law is constructed by judges with diverse political perspectives.
