Topics, Statutes, and Cases of Interest

Click on a category to view a list of relevant statutes and briefs.

Each page includes the following:
1. A brief overview of the statute.
2. Selected provisions that have been the subject of litigation.
3. Student-written briefs of legal cases interpreting the statute. Each brief includes a link to the case and to the relevant section of the U.S. Code or state law it addresses.

Note: U.S. Code links will take you to a “Content Details” page. To read the statute itself, use the “Download” bar at the top left of the page to view it as a PDF or in plain text.

Please keep in mind that all briefs are student-authored. Some may be partial or still in progress.
