The case of New Jersey v. T.L.O. is known for establishing the standard of "reasonable suspicion" for searches of students by school officials. The Supreme Court held that school officials do not need a warrant or probable cause to search a student, but they must have reasonable suspicion that a student has violated school rules or the law in order to conduct a search. This decision was based on the need for schools to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment.
