The ScotusWiki has an indexed page of the US Supreme Court arguments scheduled for argument this term. We will be watching with particular interest to some Fourth Amendment cases: Arizona v. Gant (07-542) - which will address if police can continue to use the "search incident to arrest doctrine" in car searches when the arrested subject is already detained; Herring v. United States (07-513) - which will address whether the exclusionary rule applies to information erroneously provided by law enforcement; and Pearson v. Callahan (07-751) - which will address whether the a person has "consented" to a warrantless entry by police if that person allowed an undercover informant into his/her home.
Oral argument was heard in Gant and Herring on October 6, 2008. For analysis see ScotusBlog. Stay Tuned to see how the Fourth Amendment fares.
