Lawyer2Lawyer: E-mail and the 4th Amendment

By Robert J. Ambrogi

Does the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures extend to e-mail and data stored in "the cloud"? Surprisingly, the question remains unsettled in the courts. On this week's legal-affairs podcast <a href="http://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/lawyer-2-lawyer/2009/11/the-fourth-amendment-and-email/">Lawyer2Lawyer</a>, we discuss the extent to which e-mail and other online data are protected in both the criminal and civil contexts. Joining us are two experts on the topic:<br /><ul><li><a href="http://www.law.gwu.edu/Faculty/profile.aspx?id=3568" target="_blank" title="Orin S. Kerr">Orin S.
