Landmark Supreme Court Cases (e.g., Board of Education v. Rowley)

Landmark Supreme Court cases are significant legal decisions that shape American law and society. For example, in Board of Education v. Rowley (1982), the Supreme Court addressed the rights of students with disabilities under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act. The Court ruled that schools are required to provide a "free appropriate public education," but it does not need to provide the best possible education. This case was crucial in defining the level of educational services that schools must offer to students with disabilities, impacting how educational institutions accommodate diverse learning needs.
