The Exclusionary Rule

This lesson will discuss the Exclusionary Rule, the circumstances under which it may be raised, and two important exceptions to its use -- the Impeachment Exception and the Leon Good Faith Exception. The lesson will not cover the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine. That doctrine, which builds upon the information covered in this lesson, is covered in a separate lesson. It is highly recommended that you complete the separate lesson on the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine shortly after you complete this lesson.
