Supreme Court jurisprudence

Supreme Court jurisprudence refers to the principles and interpretations of law developed by the U.S. Supreme Court through its rulings. The Court interprets the Constitution, federal laws, and treaties, influencing legal precedents that guide future cases. Justices consider various factors, including constitutional text, historical context, and social implications, to make decisions that impact society. Their rulings can affirm or challenge laws and policies, shaping civil rights, government powers, and individual liberties. This body of work plays a crucial role in maintaining the rule of law and can reflect evolving societal values over time.
