Penn State Law Research Paper
McKenna, Anne T. and Fishman, Clifford S.,
2017 The third edition of the seminal “Fishman & McKenna” Wiretapping treatise analyzes federal and state law and the rapidly evolving civil and criminal legal issues and privacy issues surrounding the Internet, computers, cellular devices, electronic location tracking, drones, and biometrics. Since its publication, this treatise has been cited in multiple published federal and state judicial opinions, including by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in August 2010 and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in August 2014. The third edition is a well-known resource for attorneys working in private practice and in the government, as well as for law enforcement. It is also a resource for other scholars in the field, and like the earlier second edition, it is frequently cited in law review articles.
