Which case was brought to court first Miller v. California or Gates v. Collier ?
Miller v. California Gates v. Collier
Brockmeyer v. Dun & Bradstreet 113 Wis. 2d 561 (Wis. 1983), was a case in which the Wisconsin Supreme Court first identified that Wisconsin has some judicial exceptions to the employment at will doctrine.
Fletcher v. Peck, 10 U.S. 87 (1810) , is a landmark United States Supreme Court decision in which the Supreme Court first ruled a state law unconstitutional.  The decision also helped create a growing precedent for the sanctity of legal contracts and hinted that Native Americans did not hold title to their own lands (an idea fully realized in "Johnson v. M'Intosh").
Gasser v MISAT (C-116/02) was a decision of the European Court of Justice regarding the interpretation of the Brussels convention of 1968 ruling that a court chosen in a choice of court agreement should stay its proceedings - as any other court chosen second within the Brussels regime - until the court first seized had declared it did not have jurisdiction.  The court's decision was considered problematic as it favoured the uniformity of application of the Brussels regime jurisdictional rules temporarily over party autonomy.  Due to similar provisions in the 2001 Brussels Regulation and Lugano Conventions, the interpretation also affects choice of court agreements under those later instruments.  However, in the 2012 Recast version of the Brussels I Regulation chosen courts can take jurisdiction, even if a court not chosen has been addressed first.
Adams v. Burke, 84 U.S. (17 Wall.)  453 (1873), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court first elaborated on the exhaustion doctrine.  According to that doctrine, a so-called authorized sale of a patented product (one made by the patentee or a person authorized by it to sell the product) liberates the product from the patent monopoly.  The product becomes the complete property of the purchaser and "passes without the monopoly."  The property owner is then free to use or dispose of it as it may choose, free of any control by the patentee.  "Adams" is a widely cited, leading case.  A substantially identical doctrine applies in copyright law and is known as the "first sale doctrine".
WN Hillas & Co Ltd v Arcos Ltd [1932] UKHL 2 is a landmark House of Lords case on English contract law where the court first began to move away from a strict, literal interpretation of the terms of a contract, and instead interpreted it with a view to preserve the bargain.  The Court ruled that judges may imply terms into a contract based on the past dealings of the parties rather than void the agreement.
Jones v. Cunningham, 371 U.S. 236 (1963) was a Supreme Court case in which the court first ruled that state inmates had the right to file a writ of habeas corpus challenging both the legality and the conditions of their imprisonment.  Prior to this, starting with "Pervear v. Massachusetts", 72 U.S. 475 (1866) , the court had maintained a "hands off" policy regarding federal interference with state incarceration policies and practices, maintaining that the Bill of Rights did not apply to the states.  Subsequently, in "Cooper v. Pate" (1964), an inmate successfully obtained standing to challenge the denial of his right to practice his religion through a habeas corpus writ.
The "trustee system" (sometimes homophonically though perhaps incorrectly called "trusty system") was a strict system of discipline and security in the United States made compulsory under Mississippi state law (but also used in other states, such as Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, New York and Texas) as the method of controlling and working inmates at Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, Mississippi's only prison.  It was designed to replace convict leasing.  Under this system, designated inmates were used by staff to control and administer physical punishment to other inmates according to a strict prison-determined inmate hierarchy of power.  The case of "Gates v. Collier" (Gates v. Collier Prison Reform Case, 1970–1971) ended the flagrant abuse of inmates under the trusty system and other prison abuses which had continued essentially unchanged since the building of the prison in 1903 in Mississippi.  Other states using the trusty system were also forced to give it up under this ruling.
Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973) is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court wherein the court redefined its definition of obscenity from that of “utterly without socially redeeming value” to that which lacks "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."  It is now referred to as the three-prong standard or the Miller test, with the third prong being informally known by the initialism and mnemonic device "SLAPS" or the term "SLAPS test."
Cheff v. Mathes, 199 A.2d 548 (Del. 1964) was a case in which the Delaware Supreme Court first addressed the issue of director conflict of interest in a corporate change of control setting.  This case is the predecessor to future seminal corporate law cases including: "Unocal Corp. v. Mesa Petroleum Co.", "Revlon v. MacAndrews", and "Paramount v. Time".
Gates v. Collier, 501 F.2d 1291 (5th Cir.  1974), was a landmark case decided in U.S. federal court that brought an end to the Trusty system and the flagrant inmate abuse that accompanied it at Mississippi State Penitentiary (Parchman) in Sunflower County, Mississippi.  It was the first case in a body of law developed in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals holding that a variety of forms of corporal punishment against prisoners constituted cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of Eighth Amendment rights.  This case was also the first broad-scale intervention by a court in the supervision of prison practices.
