But many authors writing about Fourth Amendment law seem unable to resist the lure of feline puns enabled by the Supreme Court\u2019s seminal decision in Katz v. United States (1967). Here are examples of titles published just in the last two years, most (but not all) of which are from student notes:<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n\u25cf Is The Court Allergic To Katz?

Leave your suggestions in the comment thread.  Meanwhile, authors might want to avoid this particular pun in light of its overuse.  Or better yet, avoid title puns entirely.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry about me: I long ago refused to cite any law review with a stupid pun for a name.
