U.S. Supreme Court Cases | |
|---|---|
| Case | Decision Summary |
| A. L. A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States (1935) | Struck down regulations that fixed the hours and wages of individuals employed by an intrastate business because the activity being regulated related to interstate commerce only indirectly. |
| ASARCO Inc. v. Kadish (1989) | Restated Rooker-Feldman doctrine that 28 U. S. C. § 1257 ordinarily bars direct review in lower federal courts of decision reached by highest state court; such authority is vested solely in the U.S. Supreme Court. |
| Abdul-Kabir v. Quarterman (2007) | The 5-4 ruling overturned the death penalty; found a reasonable likelihood that trial judge's instructions to Texas jury that sentenced defendant to death prevented jurors from giving meaningful consideration to constitutionally relevant mitigating evidence. |
| Abington School District v. Schempp (1963) | Held that compulsory school prayer is unconstitutional. |
| Abood v. Detroit Bd. of Ed. (1977) | Held public-sector unions constitutionally prohibited from using fees of objecting nonmembers for ideological purposes not germane to union's collective-bargaining duties. |
| Abrams v. United States | |
| Abstention doctrine | Allowed federal courts to refrain from hearing lawsuits under a variety of circumstances that concern possible interference with other proceedings. |
| Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena (1995) | Held government affirmative action programs to an exacting "strict scrutiny"; requires invalidating them unless justified to remedy past discrimination. |
| Aguilar v. Felton (1985) | Held the Establishment Clause prohibits governmental financial assistance to parochial schools. |
| Alaska v. United States (2005) | Nearly unanimously held against a claim asserted by state of Alaska to certain submerged lands underlying waters in Southeast Alaska, including lands in between and fringing the southeastern Alaska islands known as the Alexander Archipelago. |
| Ali v. Federal Bureau of Prisons | Presents a question to Supreme Court concerning Federal Tort Claims Act. |
| Allen v. Illinois (1986) | Held that privilege against self-incrimination does not protect person in medication hearing because it is a civil proceeding. |
| Alyeska Pipeline Serv. Co. v. Wilderness Soc'y (1975) | Reiterated the "American rule" prohibiting the winner in a lawsuit from recovering legal fees from the loser: "the prevailing litigant is ordinarily not entitled to collect a reasonable attorneys' fee from the loser." |
