This book attempts to help students of constitutional and criminal law to understand Supreme Court opinions. Students often find it difficult to understand the archaic language used by some justices, to grasp the subtleties and nuances of an opinion, to see how the cases fit together. Cases selected for this book are ones on which there was a consensus that they were landmark cases or destined to become one.
