Arizona v. Hon. Jane A. Butler and Tyler B.
Arizona Supreme Court; Case No. CV-12-0402-PR

Age and other circumstances particular to youth are crucial factors in assessing the voluntariness of a consent to a search under the Fourth Amendment. Where the search is conducted in the school setting, age is even more relevant to the voluntariness determination.
