: V.U.Lawcity - The Valpo Law Blawg

First Monday

To celebrate the new term of the United States Supreme Court which begins today, we have added a website to the library catalog, Galileo.

The website Landmark Supreme Court Cases is a collaboration between Street Law and The Supreme Court Historical Society. The site was developed to provide educators with a full range of resources and activities to support the teaching of landmark Supreme Court cases. The general teaching strategies include moot court, political cartoon analysis, and continuum exercises.

The standard resources available for each case include:

• Background summaries and questions for three different reading levels.
• Diagrams of how the cases moved through the court system
• Excerpts from the majority (and where appropriate) the dissenting opinions
• Links to the full text of the Supreme Court's decisions

The site can be accessed from Galileo, the above hyperlink, or at http://www.landmarkcases.org/
