- March 30, 2020, Andrew Manuel Crespo, “Probable Cause Pluralism”, in Yale Law Journal, page 8:
- Lacking any clear textual or historical definition of its own, the phrase "probable cause" is every bit as open-textured as these other terms of art and is every bit in need of sound analytical and doctrinal exposition.
