This text breaks down each Supreme Court case associated with police operations, then summarizes the case facts, presents the legal questions before the Court, and then gives the findings of the Court in the case. Students can easily learn 50 key cases in a semester.

The format of each case, with capsule, facts, issue, decision, reason and significance, is ideal for presenting numerous cases on a topic in a clear and focused manner. The organization of cases by topics assists in this presentation.
