Juvenile Law Center filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court of the United States challenging the constitutionality of an Oklahoma school district’s policy of random urinalysis drug testing of student-athletes. Juvenile Law Center’s brief urged the Court to adhere to a suspicion-based standard for searches of public school students. The brief also sought to debunk the myth that school drug use is out of control.
The Supreme Court held that subjecting students who wished to participate in extracurricular activities to random drug testing did not abridge the students’ Fourth Amendment rights.
