SUPREME COURT DECISIONS OVERRULED BY

SUBSEQUENT DECISION

While the Supreme Court sometimes expressly overrules a prior decision, in a great many instances the overruling must be deduced from the

principles of related cases. Obviously, there is a chance here for a difference

of opinion and this will be reflected in any listing.

The present compilation was initially based primarily upon the following sources:

Justice Brandeis dissenting in Burnet v. Coronado Oil and Gas Co., 285 U.S. 393, 406–

409 nn.1–4 (1932).

Emmet E. Wilson, ‘‘Stare Decisis, Quo Vadis?’’ 33 Geo. L.J. 251, 254 n.17, 265 (1945);

William O. Douglas, ‘‘Stare Decisis,’’ 49 Colum. L. Rev. 735–43, 756–58 (1949);

Albert R. Blaustein and Andrew H. Field, ‘‘Overruling Opinions in the Supreme Court,’’

57 Mich. L. Rev. 151, 184–94 (1958).

Inasmuch as there is not complete agreement among them that all of

the cases listed constitute reversals by the Supreme Court of prior decisions,

the following symbols have been employed to indicate the authority for inclusion in each instance:

An asterisk (*) designates reversals stated in express terms by the Supreme Court;

The letters B, D, and A indicate reversals listed respectively by Justice

Brandeis, Justice Douglas and Professor Blaustein;

Cases not bearing a symbol have been added by the editors of this volume.
