    CLE Program:

    The Constitutionality of Geofence Warrants: A Discussion on Federal and Minnesota Perspectives

    Earlier this year, the Minnesota Supreme Court analyzed the constitutionality of geofence warrants in State v. Contrera-Sanchez—an issue that has been long overdue with the advent of cell phone location data in criminal investigations. However, the Minnesota Supreme Court’s decision interpreted the Minnesota Constitution, which has been at times more protective than the Federal Constitution. Currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court is the issue under the Federal Constitution. Please join us for a panel discussion exploring the reasoning under Minnesota’s Constitution and various predictions on the Federal landscape from the perspectives of current prosecutors, public defenders, civil rights organizations, and academia.

    Panelists:
    Bradford (Brad) Colbert, Professor of Law at Mitchell Hamline School of Law
    Alicia Granse, Staff Attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota
    Shawn Webb, Managing Attorney, First District Public Defender’s Office
    Zuri Balmakund, Assistant Attorney General of the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office


    The Town & Country Club is located at 300 N Mississippi River Blvd in St. Paul. There is parking available at the venue lot, as well as surrounding streets.
