Featured today: US Supreme Court - 47 Landmark Cases
This iPhone app is a great educational resource for U.S. history buffs, law students, social activists, and those simply interested in learning about landmark cases of the U.S. Supreme Court. These cases helped set precedence on some of the most defining political, economic, and social moments in our history, including Bush v. Gore (2000), Brown v. Board of Education (1954), and Roe v. Wade (1973). Click the "Nonprofits &
iPhone" category to see all
other features. Problem: it's expensive! 15 bucks! Also, again, this is not a nonprofit, but we're having a hellova hard time finding nonprofit iPhone apps!

What is it?
"We have consolidated into one eBook volume 47 United States Supreme Court landmark cases which have greatly influenced the lives of all Americans. In one place, you have access to all of the most famous cases. A landmark decision is the outcome of a legal case (often thus reffered to as a landmark case) that establishes a precedent that either substantially changes the interpretation of the law or that simply establishes new case law on a particular issue.
Features? Internal links, in both directions, between footnotes and citations within the rulings themselves. Remembers where, in the last case, you were last reading. Does not require internet access. Has ability to tele-read at a settable pace so as to avoid screen gestures."
