Case Discussion

Legal experts discussed the recent Supreme Court cases, “Missouri v. Jenkins” and “Osborne v. Ohio.” "Missouri v. Jenkins" considered the power of federal judges. The Court decided that a judge can order a tax increase to pay for school desegregation. “Osborne v. Ohio” centered on child pornography and privacy rights. The Court ruled that possession of child pornography is illegal, including possession in one’s home. Attorneys in “Maryland v. Craig” discussed the issues involved in their case, including the constitutional rights of a defendant to face an accuser, even if that accuser is a child. close
