The Supreme Court of Maine was established in the year 1820, after Maine decided to separate itself from Massachusetts. The Supreme Court is the highest court within the State, and therefore it is the court in charge of final appeals. It is represented by seven Justices, which are presided by the Chief Justice.The main duty of the Supreme Court is to decide on questions of law, mostly that come from civil actions and criminal trials. The Justices, after reflecting on the questions that have been brought up, present an issue with their opinion on the matter, and deciding whether the decision made by the lower court is valid or not.

The Plessy v. Ferguson case ruled that segregation was legal. This greatly impacted African American communities because even though the principle "separate but equal" was deemed equal, it really wasn't at all. African American citizens often did not have the same opportunities and they had it more difficult than average white Americans.
This was overruled by the Brown v. Board case. This was started when a young African American girl had to walk over a mile to her school everyday, when there was a white school a couple blocks away. This gained a lot of attraction, as it is proof that "separate but equal" is not actually equal at all. After awhile, this case lead an end to segregation in school systems, and this eventually lead to an end to segregation in general and the overall integration of different races in society.
