Cases
Every episode, with the side-by-side summary, full transcript, and links to the opinions.
Mapp v. Ohio (1961)
Police forced their way into Dollree Mapp's home holding a paper "claimed to be a warrant." The Court said evidence seized that way can't be used in any state court.
Gideon v. Wainwright (1963)
No justice dissented in Gideon. So the strongest case for the other side comes from the case the Court overruled.
Miranda v. Arizona (1966)
Almost everyone knows the Miranda warnings. Almost no one knows that four justices dissented.
