Status

Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. Frank v. Maryland was overruled in part. The Supreme Court rejected Frank's permission for warrantless municipal health inspections of a home in Camara v. Municipal Court.
More on how this was screened

The Court later explained that Frank's statement disallowing forcible entry without a warrant was left undisturbed. All 64 flagged citations have been read; the confirmed treatment is listed below.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

64 later cases cite Frank v. Maryland; 64 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
