Question
what is a landmark case?
○ a case that is based on a dispute over land
○ a case that is based on a previous court’s decision.
○ a case that sets a precedent for future court decisions
○ a case that has been overturned from a previous court.
A landmark case is one that establishes a significant legal precedent. The first option is incorrect as landmark cases aren't about land disputes. The second option describes a case following precedent (stare decisis), not a landmark case. The fourth option is about a case being overturned, not a landmark case. A landmark case sets a precedent for future court decisions, so the third option is correct.
