Do you have an area of law that you're interested in?

Roe v. Wade would be an easy one. or Brown v. Board of Education.

No. That's the bad part bc my dad is super lawyer. I have always been more of a science junkie. I am just required to take this class for my political science credits.

I like crim pro, so I would probably do Katz (not ok for govt to use electronic equipment to listen in on a dude's convo in a phonebooth without warrant), Kyllo (not ok for government to use a thermal imager without warrant to see if dude is growing pot in his garage), Jacobsen (entrapment and kiddie porn).

Another case that you could easily argue both sides of is Bd. of Educ. of Indep. School Dist. No. 92 v. Earls, which says that it is ok for schools to drug test kids in extracurricular activities.

You might like Kyllo because it is all about how to balance the preservation of 4th Amendment rights with rapidly advancing technology. Be sure to read Stevens' dissent.

I'm sure everyone wants to do Roe v. Wade, which is dumb because it is a poorly written case.

I totally agree with you on the No go for the Roe Vs. Wade as it will be all too common. Something new is great!

I like your topic #2 (school district Vs. earls...This sounds like it would be a great topic to write about.

Stefka babes you are awesome when it comes to school work!

I school. It is going to suck when I graduate in 10 weeks. I guess I'll have to go back for a PhD.

boring but the one that said a local government can take private property for the use of other private people (like walmart) if considered in the public interest
