Chandler V. Miller: Redefining "Special Needs" For Suspicionless Drug Testing Under The Fourth Amendment, Joy L. Ames

Akron Law Review

This Note will discuss the three Supreme Court cases that, up to now, have defined Fourth Amendment doctrine regarding suspicionless drug testing in the public sector: National Treasury Employees Union v. Von Raab, Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives’ Association, and Vernonia School District v. Acton. Specifically, this Note will focus on the "special needs" analysis as it was articulated in these cases, as well as how that analysis was altered in Chandler.

The last section discusses the government's liability when a public employee transmits AIDS to another individual during the course of employment.

Washington Constitution Article 1, Section 7: The Argument For Broader Protection Against Employer Drug Testing, Ken Davis

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment will analyze Article 1, Section 7 of the Washington Constitution, the search and seizure provision, and conclude that this provision should be construed to provide greater protection to employees against employer drug testing absent individualized suspicion than the Fourth Amendment does. The scope of this Comment, however, is limited to the rights of state employees with respect to suspicionless drug testing.

Moreover, Article 1, Section 7, like the …

Note: Osha Inspections And The Fourth Amendment: Balancing Private Rights And Public Need, Glenn J. Fuerth

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) is the result of the Federal government's concern about safe working conditions.

It also authorizes the Secretary to enter and inspect any work place during regular working hours and at other reasonable times to ensure compliance with the health and safety standards.
