Through the Constitution, there is clear evidence of how the Supreme Court is organized, how they are given the jurisdiction to hear cases, and what powers are given to them. We see first how the law of DOMA was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court against Congress. DOMA was unconstitutional because of the Judiciary Act of 1789, which states that "judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and such inferior Courts".

This debate may have been thought to have been put to an end as the law that prevent doctor assisted suicide was found to inappropriate by The Supreme Court of Canada. This ruling does not take effect until next year however, and such a controversial topic will never be put to rest. The article from The…

the California argues that its Act may restrict the minors access to what they consider “offensive” material, even if the material has little to none violence. The Government asks to withdraw the First Amendment protections to minors based on poor evidence. The Supreme Court has long decided that the…

but i've always been destined to have a career in law. I’ve been exposed to the legal world ever since I was a child with my first experience with the law was when I was four and had to go through the courts when I was adopted; aged 7 I went through the courts when my parents divorced and when I was 11 I went through the courts once more when I was involved in a car crash.
