Important Supreme Court cases of this Term

There is an excellent review of the major cases decided by the United States Supreme Court in the Term just ended.

Many newspapers have called attention to these major decisions, but this one in the New York Times goes into some detail and is worth reading by criminal justice students.

These cases include one on habeas corpus for those held in Guantanamo, death penalty for child rapists, right to have a gun for legal protections, and lethal injections among others.

Feel free to express your comments on any of these cases.
