Show me where the courts have actually changed the law......not rule on one, but changed it. Courts change the law by ruling on it. Any first year law student will tell you that judicial decisions is one of the primary sources of new law. Do you not understand the basics of our legal system? As to your question, how about: Rowe v. Wade Gideon v. Wainwright Miranda v. Arizona Helvering v. Horst You get the idea.

David Ray all ready gave you some pretty good examples. There are also some pretty wacky things that have been done by state level judges including controling the spending of a school district and requiring it to put in things like swiming pools and other luxurious amenities. The court has invented whole new principles like a constitutional right to privacy and the idea that this means that states can not outlaw abortion. There is nothing in the constitution that even hints at this idea. The constitution doesn't mention abortion or even privacy. The closest it comes to that is when it forbids "unreasonable searches and seizures". Its a big streach to get from that to abortion. Tim
