United States Supreme Court

The Supreme Court must exercise discretion in deciding which cases to hear, since more than 10,000 civil and criminal cases are filed in the Supreme Court each year from various State and Federal courts. Ultimately, plenary review, with oral arguments by attorneys, is granted in about 100 cases per term. Formal written opinions are delivered in 80 to 90 cases. The Supreme Court also has “original jurisdiction” in a very small number of cases arising out of disputes between States or between States and the Federal Government. When the Supreme Court rules on a constitutional issue, that judgment is virtually final; its decisions are only rarely altered by constitutional amendment or by a new ruling of the Court.

Landmark Supreme Court Cases

A landmark decision is the outcome of a legal case that establishes a precedent that either substantially changes the interpretation of the law or that establishes new case law on a particular issue. Certain cases within this category are widely known in legal studies and may be reviewed by the general public, students, and academics.

Here are some specific landmark Supreme Court topics and cases along with the case citation number for the Supreme Court’s written opinion.

•Abortion – Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113
•Right to die – Cruzan v. Dir., Mo. Dep’t of Health, 497 U.S. 261
•Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure – Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643
•Right to an Attorney – Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436
