A key court decision is often referred to as a "landmark ruling." These decisions typically set important legal precedents, influence future cases, and can have significant implications for law and society. Examples include Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, and Roe v. Wade, which addressed abortion rights. Landmark rulings often reflect and shape societal values and legal interpretations.
