Book Description
Author Deborah A. Persico looks at New Jersey v. T.L.O., the landmark Supreme Court case dealing with the rights of students against unreasonable drug searches in schools. T.L.O., whose initials were used throughout the case to protect her identity as a minor, was found smoking cigarettes in the bathroom of her school. When she denied that she had been smoking, and her assistant principal searched her purse for evidence, this case was set in motion.
