    Roe v. Wade

    Miranda v. Arizona
    Gideon v. Wainwright

    Edit:
    Roe v Wade was a civil matter. Roe sued Wade to get an injunction to keep the district attorney from enforcing the law against abortion. Since Roe was never arrested the case was not a criminal case ruling.

    Perhaps an attorney could confirm my understanding of this.
