Landmark Cases of the U.S. Supreme Court

Street Law began as a Georgetown University School of Law community service project to enable District of Columbia students to navigate their legal environment, but it evolved into a multifaceted organization devoted to educating the public in law, democracy, and human rights. The Landmark Cases of the U.S. Supreme Court Web site was developed from Street Law's original mission and, supported by the U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society, is intended to provide teachers with resources to support instruction in Supreme Court cases. The site consists of material on seventeen nineteenth- and twentieth-century Supreme Court cases. Each is divided into five sections: an overview, suggestions for classroom activities, the opinion, links to additional resources, and a restricted-access teacher resource center. Each section is then subdivided into three reading levels. The overview section provides appropriately pitched, clearly written descriptions of the case with a list of key legal concepts and vocabulary
