Instruction will include recent as well as landmark decisions from federal and Illinois courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.  Illinois cases currently pending on appeal which could significantly impact police practices will also be examined.  Search and seizure issues related to terrorism and terrorism investigations will be addressed.
