Court Cases Research

Please complete your research into a selected court case.

All notes and your presentation are due Thursday.

 

Also on Thursday expect a quiz asking you to name 8 specific cases, a bit about John Marshall and how his decisions affected the operation of the Supreme Court, a definition of stare decisis and  a few questions about your own case.  Use our class notes to study.
