The Supreme Court and the Fourth Amendment's Exclusionary Rule
Tracey Maclin
Reviews and Awards
"This overview only begins to give a sense of the breadth and encyclopedic detail of the book. The book examines not just the seminal exclusionary cases, but the minor ones as well. It also describes the fits, starts, and the near misses...It is this level of detail which makes the book so rewarding" -Bennett Capers, Tulsa Law Review
"Tracey Maclin's book on the exclusionary rule is one of the best books ever written about the Fourth Amendment. It is also one of the best books about how the Court creates constitutional doctrine. Maclin's book is based on exhaustive research with primary sources - principally, papers of justices that include letters, memos, notes from conferences, and drafts of opinions. By drawing on these sources, Maclin tells a behind-the-scenes story that unveils the deeper meaning of the published opinions." -George C. Thomas III, Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law
