Lamb McErlane Partners Daniel (Dan) Bush & Steve Jarmon presented a virtual CLE for the Chester County Bar Association (CCBA), The Implications of Commonwealth vs. Alexander, “Vehicle Searches Just Got Tougher for Pennsylvania Police”.

In December 2020, Pennsylvania law with regard to roadside searches changed dramatically when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decided Commonwealth v. Alexander.
