Since we know the case citation (367 U.S. 643)we can simply type that in the search field.
![Page 13: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Or: type in the case name.
![Page 15: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
When you type in the case name, you will retrieve the case, and also any cases that have cited (referred to) Mapp v. Ohio.
There are advantages to each approach.
![Page 16: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In addition to case law, Westlaw provides law reviews and secondary sources which
INTERPRET Mapp v. Ohio and can help you identify the legal issue in the case.
These articles can also help you determine key words and search terms
you should use when searching for cases in the state you have chosen.
![Page 17: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Instructions:• 2. Obtain your appropriate key word terms and issues from
Mapp v. Ohio. Using these terms, search for cases in the state that you have chosen.
![Page 18: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Let’s look at the actual case.
![Page 19: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
These are parallel citations which means same case, found in different sources. Professor
Pesca gave you the U.S. Supreme Court official citation
(367 U.S. 643).
81 S. Ct. 1684 is the SAME case, Mapp v. Ohio, in a West case
reporter.
![Page 20: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
This is the prior history of the case,
which describes what courts heard the case prior to it coming before the
U.S. Supreme Court.
![Page 21: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
West Headnotes are brief summaries of
the main legal issues and points of law and
in the case.
Headnotes are not part of the Court’s
official decision; they are written by West attorney-editors to
help with case interpretation.
Very useful!
![Page 22: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Westlaw tells you how many cases have “cited” a particular headnote. For example, 953 cases have referred back to
Mapp v. Ohio for this particular point of law!

Some courts located in New Jersey (and in all of the United States) are federal courts, which is why you see both Federal and State court listings under New Jersey (and with every state). It may seem confusing at first,
but it is the U.S. court structure.
Here, you want to choose All New Jersey State Cases.
![Page 35: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
In general, you will search these courts most often.
![Page 36: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Note the search results are
displayed in “relevance” order.
You can sort by date or “most cited” as
well.
![Page 38: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Think about this: “Most cited” means subsequent (later) cases have referred back to these cases most frequently.

Heads up! You do NOT want to print the full text of each case!
The instructions read, “Print out the list of cases and citations that match your key words and
terms.”
![Page 42: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Instructions:• 4. Read through the cases and find a case that deals with
the same issue that is in Mapp v. Ohio.
Your challenge now is to find a case that most closely deals with the same issue that is in Mapp v. Ohio, is reasonably current (though a pivotal case
may be very old), and is still good law.
![Page 43: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Is the case still good law?
•Is the case I am looking at still good law?
• While viewing a case with a KeyCite flag, click the flag (if there IS one).• No flag = no negative treatment (so far)• Yellow = CAUTION• Red = CASE HAS BEEN OVERRULED – DO NOT USE
![Page 44: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
No flag = good law so far - Yellow flag = caution – Red flag = no longer good law (has been overruled, overturned)
Click on the flag for specific negative history.
![Page 45: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Just because there is no flag…• … does not mean this is the best case!
• A case like Roe v. Wade – (Supreme Court of the United States January 22, 1973 - 410 U.S. 113)
• a very famous U.S. Supreme Court case in the 1970s, has a yellow flag because some courts have not agreed with certain aspects of the Court’s ruling – but this case has been cited over 22,000 times!
• If later cases have ‘cited’ to (referred to) a case thousands of times, even if there is some negative treatment, this case is still good law, and very, very important!
• Bottom line: don’t be afraid of cases with yellow flags!
![Page 46: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Let’s say we decide this is the case that deals closely with the issue in Mapp v. Ohio. How did we decide this?
![Page 47: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Remember those “Headnotes”
described earlier.
Headnotes are brief summaries of the
legal issue(s) in the case, written by
Westlaw attorney-editors.
![Page 48: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
To understand and effectively BRIEF the case,
you have to read the case,
not just the headnotes. The opinion,
written by the judge, contains the facts, the
issue(s) before the court, the
court’s holding and rationale.
![Page 49: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Fact Pattern:• Jay C is a suspected methamphetamine manufacturer and
seller in the small town of Clear Lake. The police think Jay C keeps drugs and paraphernalia in his truck.
• While Jay C is at work, the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Dept. walks a K9 drug dog by Jay C’s truck, without a warrant. The dog immediately detects illegal substances and Jay C is arrested for criminal possession of methamphetamine manufacturing material.
![Page 54: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Legal Issue:• If a K9 is used to walk by an automobile the police suspect
might have drugs in it, is that a search without a warrant?
![Page 55: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Here we are approaching the legal issue with natural
language searching.

Things to think about…• As with the prior example, this is the challenge, once you have
formulated your search technique. It is a balancing act between:• Is the case most closely deals with my legal issue?• Is the case still good law?• Is there a more recent case close to my fact pattern?
![Page 61: Criminal Procedure WestlawNext - Pesca](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547bf2bcb4af9f94428b460f/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

This is a perfect example of why you
