GA from 2009 that is on the Sweeps listing. There is significant uncited text, which is problematic per WP:GACR #2b, and the notable cases section is largely sourced only to the cases section itself, which leads to issues as to how these cases were selected as notable. This latter issue was brought up in the original GA review in 2009. Hog Farm Talk 15:12, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the listed cases are notable because they were ultimately appealed to and decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, establishing the interpretation of the law for the entire country. Note that as this is a federal court, there will be few notable criminal cases (e.g., sensational murder trials), as those are heard by the state courts unless there is a federal element involved.
