Talk:Lists of landmark court decisions

message: In Costa v ENEL, the EU-Supreme court ruled that the European Community has created it's own "law district". So shouldn't EU-law be added to the page?

message: I've divided up the US Supreme Court cases into categories, which breaks up the monotony. Really, all of them are landmark cases - if you consider that the Supremes have been averaging about 100 cases a year for over 200 years, it doesn't seem like the opinions listed represent too big a chunk of the 20,000 from which there are to choose. -- 8^D BD2412gab 04:48, 2005 Mar 30 (UTC)

message: I suggest that Nix v. Hedden (the case where the Court holds that the tomato is, in fact, a vegetable), while certainly a fun little case, is in no way a "landmark decision". Does anyone disagree?  BD2412 talk 22:38, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''[[Nix v. Hedden]]'' - not a landmark 

message: Doesn't this recent decision count as a significent landmark decision?? tduwhs
:To the extent that there can be any objective substance to this term, no.  For one thing, I'd say wait more than a couple days to actually see what its impact will be; it takes an historical perspective to tell.  But unless a flurry of states suddenly legalize assisted suicide in response, I doubt it will ever become much of a landmark even in time.  The ruling was a rather narrow one on the issue of an executive official's interpretation of a statute.  If it had ruled that Congress couldn't criminalize assisted suicide, that would be significant.  But it just ruled that Congress didn't and the AG was wrong in saying that it had.  All it would take is for Congress to amend the CSA and this case would be largely irrelevant.  Postdlf 05:44, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Or we could actually wait awhile and see how history views it...?  News stories hardly present an objective perspective on what's truly significant in the long run.  Postdlf 07:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gonzales v. Oregon 

message: I note that it is common for articles describing USSC decisions to wikilink the cite of the case to case citation (which wikilink also appears in the See also section of this article).  IMHO, it would be more useful to use the  template.  Is there some reason that I should not edit relevant pages to make this change? -- Boracay Bill 02:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That template links to findlaw?  I didn't even know it existed or else I would have changed it myself.  I think that's a brilliant idea.  There's a million articles on cases that just link to case cite.  In my opinion they should all be changed to this template.--Velvet elvis81 17:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

message: What is the origin of the term "landmark decision"?
A quick google search doesn't help. I could probably find it with more extensive searching, but whatever it is it should probably be included in the article.Hypershock (talk) 16:00, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Just an ordinary usage of "landmark" (Merriam-Webster: "an event or development that marks a turning point or a stage"); nothing really to explain there. It's not a distinct term of art particular to the legal context. postdlf (talk) 16:53, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
