WHY LIBERALS SHOULD CHUCK THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE Christopher Slobogin* In this article, Professor Christopher Slobogin makes a com- pelling new case against the exclusionary rule, from a "liberal"per- spective. Moving beyond the inconclusive empirical data on the efficacy of the rule, he uses behavioraland motivational theory to demonstrate why the rule is structurally unable to deter individual police officers from performing most unconstitutionalsearches and seizures. He also argues, contrary to liberal dogma, that the rule is poor at promoting Fourth Amendment values at the systemic, de- partmental level. Finally, ProfessorSlobogin contends that the rule stultifies liberal interpretation of the Fourth Amendment, in large part because of judicial heuristics that grow out of constant expo- sure to litigants with dirty hands. He also explains why noninstru- mental justificationsfor the rule, even when viewed from a liberal bias, fail to support a broad policy of exclusion.

WHITEBREAD MICHAEL J. GRAETZ* Late in April when Charlie Whitebread learned that he had Stage 4 lung cancer, it occurred to me that I might someday be asked to say a few words about him. But these are comments I hoped never to make. I do not have words to describe to you the emptiness in my life that Charlie had filled for so many years. But our purpose here is not to mourn our loss; rather it is to celebrate Charlie's life. Charles Whitebread walked into my life on a beautiful October evening, into an old farmhouse on 350 acres of land overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charlottesville, Virginia, where I was living with four other law students in 1968. It was Charlie's first year of teaching, my last year of law school. From then until September 16, 2008, the day he died- nearly forty years-Charlie and I were the closest of friends.
