Pick a public function (such as corrections or public safety, education, energy, housing, or transportation) that is implemented by a local government in the United States. Conduct research regarding the impact of a US federal and/or state judicial decision(s) on the local government budget for the public function that you have chosen.

What is a relevant court case?

How has the judgment influenced spending for the function by the local government?

What are the other factors in addition to the courts that may have influenced changes in spending that you might have uncovered?
