Warren Court
The "Warren Court" refers to the Supreme Court of the United States during the tenure of Chief Justice Earl Warren from 1953 to 1969. This period is notable for its landmark decisions that expanded civil rights, civil liberties, and the rights of the accused. The Court's rulings often aimed to promote social justice and equality, significantly impacting American law and society.
Key decisions from the Warren Court include Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, and Miranda v. Arizona, which established the requirement for police to inform suspects of their rights. The Warren Court's legacy continues to influence legal interpretations and discussions on individual rights in the United States.
