Keith,  I, too, use U.S. Supreme Court cases related to specific topics. Some examples of cases where you can address both a legal and perhaps ethical side:
 
Kelo v. City of New London (2005)   Taking of private property to give to a private business for economic development purposes.
 
Uses of the "Commerce Clause"  
 
U.S. v. Lopez  (1995)
U.S. v. Morrison  (2000)
Katzenbach v. McClung (1964)
 
And of course, on the issue of contract, the old warhorse is always good, Lucy v. Zehmer (Va. Sup. Ct., 1954)
 
Another one not necessarily related to business but a big moral issue, Korematsu v. U.S. (1944).
 
Just a few examples.  Hope these are helpful.

Subject: Case Presentation Project


ALSBers:
 
For presentation projects in my Legal Environment class I am considering assigning an appellate decision to each of the presentation groups. Their task will be to present both a legal and ethical analysis of the dispute and the court's reasoning. 
 
Do you have any suggestions for a few good cases for this type of assignment? The cases should have rich and vivid facts that raise one or more issues from the standard legal environment course content. I welcome any ideas you have.
 
Keith
