Supreme Court scholars and journalists took part in a moot court argument on the case, Chicago v. Morales, which the Supreme Court would hear the following. The case is about a Chicago ordinance that allowed suspected gang member to be ordered by police to disperse if they loitered on the streets with other people. If the gang members did not disperse, police could arrest them and making them subject to criminal prosecution. The Illinois Supreme Court struck down the ordinance because they found it unconstitutionally vague and that it violated the due process rights of gang members. close
