Significant Oral Arguments of the Supreme Court

1955-1993

In 1996, the Supreme Court Historical Society appointed an Ad Hoc Committee of distinguished legal scholars and Supreme Court practitioners to determine the most significant oral arguments heard by the Supreme Court from 1955 until 1993.  The Committee was asked to pick not only important cases, but also examples of effective appellate advocacy.   Ultimately the Committee selected 411 cases; 130 from the Warren Court era, 160 from the Burger Court Era and 121 from the first seven years of the Rehnquist Court. The final case list follows.
