This dimension groups landmark cases by the country or jurisdiction whose courts decided them. Wikipedia notes that "leading case" is commonly used in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth jurisdictions instead of "landmark case", as used in the United States, showing how the very terminology differs by jurisdiction. Browsing this way collects every landmark case from the same country or jurisdiction.
