Concept Illustrated

This dimension names the criminological or legal concept that a specific landmark case is best known for illustrating. Wikipedia notes that landmark decisions "establish precedents that determine a significant new legal principle or concept," a concept that the case itself comes to illustrate for every case that follows. Browsing this way collects every case that illustrates the same concept.
