LEGAL RESEARCH PROJECT

AS the instructions state, you are to choose one topic from

the list of topics. Then you are to conduct legal research and find

2 USSC cases on your topic. So if you put that together, you’ll be

submitting to me the topic you’ve chosen and the 2 cases decided

between 1960 and the present. I wouldn’t think more than 1 page.

For the cases, it is implied that you tell me how the case relates to

your topic.

For this LEGAL RESEARCH PROJECT, please review the

following constitutional issues and choose one (1) for your

research project.

For the research, you can use and apply any of the cases in

the Homework area in addition to one (1) additional case you

will need to find on your own.

A good website for USSC cases is the US Supreme Court

https://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docket.aspx

Docket Search – Supreme Court of the United

States

The Supreme Court’s docket system contains information about cases,

both pending and decided, that have been filed at the Court. The docket

provided here contains complete information regarding the status of cases

filed since the beginning of the 2001 Term.

. If you want to find two (2) cases on your own that is perfectly fine

too. The cases must be US Supreme Court cases decided

between 1960 and the present.
