curtilage  

Definition

  • Curtilage is a term used to refer to the area connected to, or immediately surrounding, a private dwelling. Just as the law regards an individual's home as “his castle,” courts recognize that individuals have heightened expectations of privacy in the area and the buildings immediately surrounding their residences. [Source: Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment; Curtilage]
