2024 Doyle-Winter Lecture: Orin Kerr

Professor Orin S. Kerr delivered the Michael A. Doyle '62 and Bunny Winter Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law Lecture on March 26, 2024. Titled "Searching, Seizing, and Moving," the lecture considers whether Fourth Amendment protections change when property is moved from one setting to another. The rules for conducting search and seizure, Kerr notes, vary according to place — for example, a home, a car, or a border. He addresses the questions that arise when property that has received certain place-based protections is taken elsewhere.

Kerr is the William G. Simon Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. A leading expert on the Fourth Amendment and criminal procedure, Kerr helped establish the field of computer crime law.
