Landmark Cases: 12 Historic Supreme Court Decisions is a 12-episode series aired by C-SPAN in the fall of 2015 about key cases argued in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. Each episode was 90 minutes long, aired live, and examined a specific case in detail. The series was hosted by Susan Swain, and episodes typically featured two legal scholars discussing the case, video footage from locations pertinent to the case, and questions and comments from viewers. C-SPAN produced the series in conjunction with the National Constitution Center.[1]

Supreme Court journalist Tony Mauro wrote a companion book, which was published by C-SPAN and CQ Press. It was based on Mauro's earlier book Illustrated Great Decisions of the Supreme Court.[2]
