Landmark Cases

Landmark cases are significant legal decisions made by courts that establish important precedents or clarify laws. These cases often involve fundamental rights, societal issues, or constitutional questions, shaping legal interpretations and public policy. For example, Brown v. Board of Education addressed racial segregation in schools, ruling it unconstitutional. Such cases influence future legal rulings and societal norms, making them crucial in understanding the evolution of law and justice. They reflect how courts interpret laws in relation to broader societal values and rights.
