In re Gault In 1964, an Arizona sheriff took 15 -year-old Gerald Gault into custody after a woman complained Gerald another boy made an indecent phone call. The sheriff left no notice for Gerald’s parents, who had to figure out on their own where Gerald went. At the station, the deputy told Gerald’s mom there would be a hearing the next day. They kept Gerald in custody overnight. At the hearing, nobody wrote anything down or recorded what was said. Witnesses were not sworn in, and the woman who complained about the phone call wasn’t there. The judge said he would think about what to do, and they kept Gerald in custody for two or three more days. A few days later, Gerald’s mom got a note that there would be another hearing. Again, nobody made any record of what happened, and the woman wasn’t there. At both hearings, Gerald testified about what happened. At the end of second hearing, the judge found Gerald to be delinquent and said he must stay in juvenile detention until he turned 21.
Gideon v. Wainwright In 1961, Clarence Earl Gideon was charged with breaking into a Florida pool hall and stealing some beverages and about $5 in cash.

Tinker v. Des Moines In 1965, some middle and high school students wore black armbands to school to show their protest of the war in Vietnam. Before the day of the protest, the schools’ principals had heard about the students’ plan and told the students they could not wear the armbands. Five students were suspended from school for wearing the armbands. The students fought and won their right to protest as long as it does not cause a distraction 1 st Amendment – free speech (even for students)
Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier Students enrolled in the Journalism II class at Hazelwood East High School were responsible for writing and editing the school's paper The Spectrum. Two of the articles submitted for publication in the final edition of the paper contained stories on divorce and teenage pregnancy. The divorce article featured a story about a girl who blamed her father's actions for her parents' divorce. The teenage pregnancy article featured stories in which pregnant students at Hazelwood East shared their experiences. To ensure their privacy, the girls' names were changed in the article. The school principal felt that the subjects of these two articles were inappropriate. He concluded that journalistic fairness required that the father in the divorce article be informed of the story and be given an opportunity to comment. He also stated his concerns that simply changing the names of the girls in the teenage pregnancy article may not be sufficient to protect their anonymity and that this topic may not be suitable for the younger students. As a result, he prohibited these articles from being published in the paper. There are limits to freedom of speech in schools. . puts limits on Tinker decision. Free speech/press limited in school
