Landmark U.S. Supreme Court Cases

The court rulings of the United States Supreme Court shape laws, life, and culture in the United States of America. Several historical decisions have radically changed practices in America, such as the Brown v. Board of Education case (1954) , which banned color-segregated schools, and the Roe v. Wade case (1973), which changed laws about abortion and instigated nationwide debate about the topic.
