Following up on an interesting conversation in fairoriana's journal, I'm curious about what people know and/or remember about U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

Before clicking through, please see how many U.S. Supreme Court decisions you can name off the top of your head.

The Univeristy of Michigan affirmative action cases

I had to look up the titles, which was embarrassing, because I was there when both suits were filed.

"The lawsuits decided today by the Supreme Court were both filed in 1997 in the Eastern District, U.S. District Court by white applicants, who challenged the use of race in the admissions processes of the University’s largest undergraduate school, the College of Literature Science, and the Arts (Gratz v. Bollinger) and its Law School (Grutter v. Bollinger)."

And, on the other hand, I would absolutely recognize either "v. Bollinger" name if I saw it.
