Manuel v. Joliet, 580 U.S. ___ (2017), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court held that a criminal defendant may bring a claim under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution to challenge pretrial confinement.[1] In a 6-2 majority opinion written by Justice Elena Kagan, the Court stated that "the Fourth Amendment governs a claim for unlawful pretrial detention even beyond the start of legal process".[2] This decision reversed and remanded the judgment of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.[3] Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a dissenting opinion.[4] Justice Thomas also joined a dissenting opinion by Justice Samuel Alito.[5]
