Whats a good court case that would be great to write a 10pg paper on?

Scopes trial.

Brown vs. Board of Education should keep you busy.

Marbury vs, Madison

Miranda v. Arizona

roe v wade. brown v board of education.

Palsgraf v, Long Island Rail Road

The first A I ever earned on a paper as a college freshman was a functional analysis of Brown vs. Board of Education

Gideon v. Wainwright.

an old one: Lucas vs. Earl 1922

Good luck

SRM

Dread Scott
Plessy vs. Ferguson

A Book Named ‘John Cleland’s Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure’ (AKA Fanny Hill) v. Attorney General of Massachusetts – 1966

This was a landmark obscenity trial.

United States v. One Book Called Ulysses : was Joyce’s Ulysses obscene?

@gailcalled
Yes it was an obscenity case.

@SeventhSense:
Sorry I didn’t word that properly. I meant that the premise of the trial was “Was Ulysses obscene?”. It happens to be one of my favorite books and perhaps one of the most brilliant novels ever written in English (with puns in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, Spanish and other languages that I don’t recognize.)

Lochner V. New York

It depends. What area of law are you most interested in?

Something with a twist,that i could write about and feel inspired

Korematsu v. United States
Schenck v. United States

These have been suggested already, but I’ll second Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education

Living in another country I am not really familiar with any US court cases but you could always choose a case that set some new precedent in so far as the application of law is concerned. You could then discuss how this new application might affect other similar trials in the future.

@gailcalled
I never read it. It’s on my list.
