1 Brief Course Description: Syllabus Law 641: Surveillance Law Seminar George Mason University Law School Spring 2014 Jamil N. Jaffer This seminar course will expose students to laws and policies relating to government surveillance, from traditional criminal wiretaps to high technology surveillance conducted as part of the global war on terrorism. The course will involve a survey of the Fourth Amendment s search and seizure caselaw and the application of that body of law to government surveillance efforts. Issues discussed will include: wiretaps in drug and organized crime cases; warrantless surveillance programs in the 60s and 70s; legislative efforts to constrain surveillance; the expansion of government surveillance following the attacks of 9/11; and the implications of new surveillance technologies in an increasingly cyber- and technology-oriented world. In addition, the class will include an extensive discussion of the now-declassified bulk metadata and foreign content collections conducted by the National Security Agency, including a discussion of the legal analysis supporting these programs and the policy questions raised by them. Class Format: Seminar of students; two credits; one two-hour class per week. Active participation in class discussions is required and students are expected to be fully prepared for each class session. Grading: Substantive grades will be based on class participation (15%) and student s successful completion of a page paper on surveillance law (85%); writing grades will be based on the paper alone. Office Hours: By appointment. Faculty Contact Information: jjaffer@gmu.edu Phone:
