The Legal Information Institute (LII) at Cornell Law School recently completed its review of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2013-2014 term, highlighting the term’s most important and controversial cases. The review notes that 45 of 70 cases were decided 9-0. Eleven were decided 5-4.
The review discusses several First Amendment cases; three Fourth Amendment cases; and several other cases concerning topics such as affirmative action, the separation of powers, and copyright law.
Two other sources for analysis of the term’s significant cases are panel discussions moderated by organizations generally perceived to be on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum: (1) the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (a progressive organization) and (2) the Heritage Foundation (a conservative think tank).
