The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School is a leader in the study of the law and policy around the Internet and other emerging technologies.
Fourth Amendment
Law consistently lags behind technology, nowhere more so than in the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure. CIS is committed to closing this gap in a variety of ways: organizing specially-focused judicial training programs; forming strategic partnerships between the litigation community and the academic world to improve Fourth Amendment impact litigation; and sponsoring cross-disciplinary research bridging law, computer science, and social sciences to evaluate the impact of emerging technologies on digital privacy.
