This is a list of all the United States Supreme Court cases from volume 595 of the United States Reports :
| Case name | Docket no. | Date decided |
|---|---|---|
| Rivas-Villegas v. Cortesluna | 20–1539 | October 18,2021 |
| The two cases had different enough fact patterns, so the lower court's determination that the police officer was not entitled to qualified immunity was not justified. | ||
| City of Tahlequah v. Bond | 20–1668 | October 18,2021 |
| Police officer was entitled to qualified immunity when the officer stepped towards a person, the person retreated into their garage, the police cornered him inside, and the person grabbed a hammer and held it above his head while saying "I have done nothing wrong here, man. I am in my house. I'm doing nothing wrong" before the officers shot him to death. | ||
| Mississippi v. Tennessee | 143/ Orig. 143 | November 22,2021 |

| Hemphill v. New York | 20–637 | January 20,2022 |
| A criminal defendant does not forfeit his confrontation right merely by making an argument in his defense based on a testimonial out-of-court statement like a plea allocution. | ||
| Hughes v. Northwestern Univ. | 19–1401 | January 24,2022 |
| The Seventh Circuit erred in relying on the participants' ultimate choice over their investments to excuse allegedly imprudent decisions by respondents.

| The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 does not override or alter the state secrets doctrine. | ||
| Wooden v. United States | 20–5279 | March 7,2022 |
| Multiple criminal offenses arising from a single criminal episode do not occur on different "occasions" and thus count as only one prior conviction for purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act. | ||
