Criminal Law & the Supreme Court, an Update

For your convenience, I am going to provide links to the briefs, oral arguments, and opinions in criminal and Section 1983 cases heard before the United States Supreme Court. I hope that Tom Goldstein will do something similar, since he would have the time and resources to do a better job. At his blog, they timely post documents. However, they do not arrange the relevant material by case.

Also, case summaries will follow as time allows.

Fellers v. United States (02-6230) (Sixth Amendment): opinion, oral argument, briefs

Maryland v. Pringle (02-809) (Fourth Amendment): opinion, oral argument, briefs

Illinois v. Lidster (02-1060) (Fourth Amendment): opinion, oral argument, briefs
