significant cases heard before the SCOTUS

Mathis v. United States
Docket Number: 15-6092
Date Argued: 04/26/16

Issue: Whether a predicate prior conviction under the Armed Career Criminal Act must qualify as such under the elements of the offense simpliciter, without extending the modified categorical approach to separate statutory definitional provisions that merely establish the means by which referenced elements may be satisfied rather than stating alternative elements or versions of the offense.
