New Jersey V TLO is an extremely relevant court case because as a student it is important to know your rights in a school setting. Specifically with this case, school officials have the right to search your belongings. This is essential to know because one might think that it is not legal for the school to search belongings because it goes against the fourth amendment, but because of the ruling of this court case there is an exception in a school setting. It is important to know this rule because students should not be carrying illegal items to school and if all students were aware of this it would dissuade them from bringing these items.
