The USMS as it stands today was established in 1969 to provide guidance and assistance to U.S. Marshals throughout the federal judicial districts.

Griswold v. Connecticut,381 U.S. 479 (1965),was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects the liberty of married couples to buy and use contraceptives without government restriction. The case involved a Connecticut "Comstock law" that prohibited any person from using "any drug,medicinal article or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception". The court held that the statute was unconstitutional,and that its effect was "to deny disadvantaged citizens ... access to medical assistance and up-to-date information in respect to proper methods of birth control." By a vote of 7–2,the Supreme Court invalidated the law on the grounds that it violated the "right to marital privacy",establishing the basis for the right to privacy with respect to intimate practices. This and other cases view the right to privacy as "protected from governmental intrusion".

Schultz,487 U.S. 474 (1988),was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the ordinance by the town of Brookfield,Wisconsin,preventing protest outside of a residential home. In a 6–3 decision,the Court ruled that the First Amendment rights to freedom of assembly and speech was not facially violated. The majority opinion,written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor,concluded that the ordinance was constitutionally valid because it was narrowly tailored to meet a "substantial and justifiable" interest in the state;left open "ample alternative channels of communication";and was content-neutral.
Army Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes Co.,578 U.S. ___ (2016),was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that a Clean Water Act jurisdictional determination issued by the United States Army Corps of Engineers is reviewable under the Administrative Procedure Act because jurisdictional determinations constitute "final agency action". For a federal agency decision or action to be reviewable in court under the Administrative Procedures Act,it must be a “final”agency action,meaning that there are no further steps that can be taken before it has an impact on the legal rights or obligations of any affected parties.

Chicago Police Dept. v. Mosley,408 U.S. 92 (1972),was a United States Supreme Court case which concerned freedom of speech under the First Amendment. Oral argument for this case was consolidated with Grayned v. City of Rockford,but separate opinions were issued for each. Earl Mosley had protested employment discrimination by carrying a sign on the sidewalk in front of a Chicago high school,until the city of Chicago made it illegal to do so. Although Chicago believed that its ordinance was a time,place,or manner restriction,and therefore was a constitutional law,the Supreme Court ruled that it was a content-based restriction,because it treated labor-related protests differently from other protests. Since the ordinance did not meet the higher standards for content-based restrictions,it was ruled unconstitutional.
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization,No. 19-1392,597 U.S. ___ (2022),is a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the court held that the Constitution of the United States does not confer a right to abortion.
