Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization
2022 - A Pivotal Decision
In 2018, Mississippi passed the Gestational Age Act, prohibiting abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, except in cases of medical emergency or severe fetal abnormality. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the only abortion clinic in Mississippi, and one of its doctors challenged the Act, arguing that it violated the constitutional right to abortion established by Roe v. Wade (1973) and reaffirmed by Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992).
Arizona v. United States
2012 A Clash of Jurisdictions
In 2010, Arizona enacted the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act, known as S.B. 1070, aiming to strengthen state–level immigration enforcement.

Flowers v. Mississippi
2019 - A Struggle for Justice
Curtis Flowers faced an extraordinary legal ordeal, being tried six separate times for the 1996 murders of four employees at a Mississippi furniture store. Flowers, a Black man, saw his trials marred by allegations of racial discrimination. During the first two trials, the State used its peremptory strikes to exclude all Black prospective jurors. Flowers was convicted and sentenced to death both times, but the Mississippi Supreme Court overturned these convictions due to prosecutorial misconduct.
