Calandra rule

Read a random definition: de novo damus

A quick definition of Calandra rule:

Calandra Rule: The Calandra rule says that if someone is called to testify in front of a grand jury, they can be forced to answer questions about things that were obtained illegally by the police. This means that even if the police did something wrong, the grand jury can still ask questions about it. The Calandra rule was established in a court case called United States v. Calandra in 1974.

A more thorough explanation:

The Calandra rule is a legal doctrine that allows a grand-jury witness to be forced to answer questions about certain items, even if those items were obtained illegally by the police. This rule was established in the case of United States v. Calandra in 1974.

For example, let's say that the police illegally searched someone's home and found evidence of a crime. Even though the evidence was obtained illegally, a grand-jury witness could still be asked about that evidence and forced to answer questions about it under the Calandra rule.

This rule is controversial because it allows evidence obtained through illegal means to be used in certain circumstances. However, it is seen as necessary to ensure that grand-juries can fully investigate crimes and gather all relevant information.

Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
