Volume 367 — United States Reports

This is a list of all the United States Supreme Court cases from volume 367 of the United States Reports:

Scales v. United States, 367 U.S. 203 (1961), was a 1960 decision of the United States Supreme Court that upheld the conviction of Junius Scales for violating of the Smith Act on the basis on his membership in the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA).

Noto v. United States, 367 U.S. 290 (1961), was a 1961 United States Supreme Court case that reversed the felony conviction of a lower-echelon official of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA).

Jarecki is an example of the maxim noscitur a sociis: a word is known by the company it keeps. The Court noted that noscitur a sociis is not an inescapable rule. It further noted that the maxim is often wisely applied where a word is capable of many meanings. The reason that it is applied in the case of many meanings is that it avoids giving unintended breadth to Acts of Congress.

from pages 396-397 intentionally omitted] Mr. W. Graham Claytor, Jr., Washington, D.C., for petitioner in No. 315. Mr. Sol. Gen. Archibald Cox, Washington, D.C., for petitioners in No. 454. Mr. Benjamin C. Sigal, Washington, D.C., for respondents in both cases.

Held: in effect, that, although there is no such express limitation in the Rules, the provisions of Rule 34 7 impliedly modify and limit the provisions of Rule 37 (a)(2).

Torcaso v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488 (1961), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court reaffirmed that the United States Constitution prohibits states and the federal government from requiring any kind of religious test for public office, in this case as a notary public.

Poe v. Ullman, 367 U.S. 497 (1961), was a United States Supreme Court case declining to exercise pre-enforcement judicial review of a Connecticut law banning the use of contraceptives and preventing doctors from recommending them. The lawsuit was deemed unripe because after the challenged law's 1879 enactment, it had only been cited in a single 1940 prosecution, and drug stores openly sold contraceptives. Five years later, Planned Parenthood League of Connecticut Executive Director Estelle Griswold appealed her conviction under this law, securing its overturning in Griswold v. Connecticut.

Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961), is a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in which the Court ruled that the exclusionary rule, which prevents a prosecutor from using evidence that was obtained by violating the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, applies to states as well as the federal government.

American Automobile Association v. United States, 367 U.S. 687 (1961), was an income tax case before the United States Supreme Court.

Marcus v. Search Warrant, 367 U.S. 717 (1961), full title Marcus v. Search Warrant of Property at 104 East Tenth Street, Kansas City, Missouri, is an in rem case decided by the United States Supreme Court on the seizure of obscene materials. The Court unanimously overturned a Missouri Supreme Court decision upholding the forfeiture of hundreds of magazines confiscated from a Kansas City wholesaler. It held that both Missouri's procedures for the seizure of allegedly obscene material and the execution of the warrant itself violated the Fourth and Fourteenth amendments' prohibitions on search and seizure without due process. Those violations, in turn, threatened the rights protected by the First Amendment.

International Association of Machinists v. Street, 367 U.S. 740 (1961), was a United States labor law decision by the United States Supreme Court on labor union freedom to make collective agreements with employers to enroll workers in union membership, or collect fees for the service of collective bargaining.
