The Supreme Court in the U.S. stated that searches and seizures by public officials need not to be based upon " probable cause ", the standard required by the fourth amendment, but need to be based upon "reasonable suspicion." As this is the only one authorized standard of " School Search and Seizure " in the U.S.. The lower courts will perceive the particular circumstances with this sandard, and also school officials need to observe this standard, for in fact, what they say, the U.S. is the soceity of lawsuit, where the number of lawyers is about twenty times of Japan's. In Japan,the cases of school Search and Seizure will be increasing in the future, so I will describe the outline of " New Jersey v.T.L.O." , and then will add some model searches and seizures policies in the U.S.,and some other datas in Japan. DBackground On March 7, 1980, a teacher at P.High School in M.County, N.J.,discovered two girls smoking in a lavatory. One of them was the respondent T.,who at that time a 14-year-old high school freshman. Because smoking in the lavatory was a violation of a school rule, the teacher took them to the Principal's office, where they met with Assistant Vice Principal Mr.C. In response to questioning by Mr.C. T's companion admitted that she had violated the rule, T.,however, denied that she had been smoking in the lavatory and claimed that she did not smoke at all. Mr.C. asked T. to come into his private office and demanded to see her purse.
