Law and the Constitution
The Honorable Bruce Reinhart was sworn in as a United States Magistrate Judge for the Southern District of Florida on March 14, 2017. Prior to taking the bench, he was in private practice for 10 years, both as a solo practitioner and as the co-chair of the white-collar crime practice group of a national firm. His practice focused on white-collar criminal defense and complex civil litigation. From 1996-2008, he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in West Palm Beach. From 1988-1996, he was a Trial Attorney in the Public Integrity Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, having entered the Department as part of the Attorney General’s Honors Program. He began his legal career as the law clerk to the Honorable Norma L. Shapiro on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Judge Reinhart earned a degree in civil engineering cum laude from Princeton University in 1984 and a J.D. cum laude in 1987 from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He also taught for several years as an adjunct professor in the FAU College of Criminal Justice.
The Fourth Amendment in the Age of Data
The Fourth Amendment was adopted in 1789 to ensure that “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.” At that time, the United States was a pre-industrial, heavily agrarian society. Today, we are in the Age of Data. On a daily basis, we give away enormous amounts of information about ourselves, our movements, our communications, our finances, and almost every other aspect of our private lives. This lecture will discuss how courts are applying these 24 words from the late 18th century to modern life and emerging technology, such as cellphone data, internet accounts, and cloud computing.
We will look at the historical development of Fourth Amendment including legal concepts, particularly, how the fourth amendment evolved from being based solely on property rights to incorporating concepts of privacy. We will also look at how the law is dealing with private personal information in the control of third parties. We will also discuss new ways that law enforcement is using all of this information, and whether the Fourth Amendment has a role in that arena.
