SELL v. US, No. 02-5664 (U.S.S.C. June 16, 2003)
The government may involuntarily administer anti-psychotic drugs to
render a mentally ill defendant competent to stand trial on serious
criminal charges if the treatment is 1) medically appropriate, 2)
substantially unlikely to have side effects that may undermine the
trial's fairness, and 3) necessary significantly to further
important government trial-related interests.

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, PROPERTY LAW & REAL ESTATE
VIRGINIA v. HICKS, No. 02-371 (U.S.S.C. June 16,
2003)
The trespass policy in place at a low-income housing development
owned by a political subdivision is not facially invalid under the
First Amendment overbreadth doctrine, as 1) the policy does not
prohibit a substantial amount of protected speech in relation to
legitimate applications, and 2) rules apply to all person's entering
the development, not just those seeking to engage in expression.

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
OVERTON v. BAZZETTA, No. 02-94 (U.S.S.C. June 16, 2003)

relation to legitimate penological interests suffices to sustain
them, regardless of whether prisoners have a constitutional right of
association that has survived incarceration.
