Landmark Case Podcast Series on uscourts.gov
A new podcast series on uscourts.gov looks at how landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases shaped history and continue to affect American life.
- Mapp v. Ohio: The Supreme Court said evidence seized unlawfully, without a search warrant, could not be used in criminal prosecutions in state courts.
- Texas v. Johnson: The Supreme Court decided that symbolic speech—no matter how offensive to some—is protected under the First Amendment.
- Tinker v. Des Moines: The Supreme Court agreed that students had a right to freedom of speech.
Each episode explores a different landmark case as a law professor discusses the case’s background, key arguments, and the decision. New episodes will be available each month at uscourts.gov/landmarks.
