Searching A Person’s Thoughts: Keyword Search Warrants and Fourth Amendment Concerns
Stanford Technology Law Review
In George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984, he wrote about “thought police” who arrested people based on their suspected thoughts. In the film Minority Report, law enforcement used a trio of “precognitives” with psychic impressions of pending homicides, leading to the arrest of individuals before they could commit the crimes.

As technology becomes an increasingly important part of everyday life, STLR strives to provide a timely response to new legal challenges and opportunities posed by innovation.
In doing so, STLR embraces a broad view of “technology.” Technology includes software and AI, biotechnology and life sciences, clean-, med-, and fin-tech, neuroscience, and other hard and emerging sciences. When it comes to such technologies, STLR seeks scholarship that examines how technology is developed, funded, protected, regulated, concentrated, used, and abused.
Finally, STLR is committed to diversity and inclusion across law and technology. The journal is published exclusively online and is open-access, and STLR is committed to publishing pieces by authors with a diverse range of backgrounds and views. In all ways, STLR works to broaden the range of voices—and what those voices contribute—to the intersection of law and technology.
STLR is currently closed for submissions.
We are delighted to announce that the Stanford Technology Law Review is now being published online-only and does not require a subscription.

Diversity
At its core, STLR is devoted to the discovery and transmission of legal knowledge. STLR cannot be limited in its methods and ways of thinking, or confined to one individual’s or a single community’s experiences. To further this mission, we must bring a broad range of ideas and approaches.
STLR strives to ensure that a diversity of cultures, races and ethnicities, genders, political and religious beliefs, physical and learning differences, sexual orientations and identities is represented. Such diversity will inspire new angles of inquiry, new modes of analysis, and new solutions, contributing to our core mission.
To advance legal scholarship, it is essential to be exposed to views and cultures other than one’s own and to have one’s opinions and assumptions challenged. Such engagement expands our horizons, enables understanding across difference, prevents complacency and promotes intellectual breadth.
Our diversity ensures our strength as an intellectual community. In today’s world, diversity represents the key to excellence and achievement.
