Street Law’s Primary Sources Case Packs help educators teach about landmark Supreme Court cases using primary sources from the Library of Congress.
This case pack is about the 1961 case of Mapp v. Ohio, which asked: Is evidence gained in violation of the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures admissible in state courts?
This high-school-level case pack includes a summary of the case, three primary source-based activities, and an inquiry-based task. An answer key is included.
