CASE LAW

The 2 decisions the Michigan file rests on. Each one carries the question it answers in plain words, how far it reaches, and the sections of this guide that stand on it.

0 of 2 have a summary written. A summary is not the decision: every card links to the opinion, and the one thing that settles what a case held is reading it.

Graham v. Connor

490 U.S. 386 (1989)

No summary written yet. The cite is what the guide carries and the link goes to the decision. A holding invented to fill this space would read better than one written from the opinion and be worth nothing, so this row stays empty until somebody reads it.

Tennessee v. Garner

471 U.S. 1 (1985)

No summary written yet. The cite is what the guide carries and the link goes to the decision. A holding invented to fill this space would read better than one written from the opinion and be worth nothing, so this row stays empty until somebody reads it.
