Cohens v. Virginia (1821)
In 1821, a lottery was established in the District of Columbia, at which point the Cohen brothers began selling tickets in Virginia. Virginia, which had laws in place against lotteries, detained, tried, and convicted the Cohen brothers. The Supreme Court, in contest with the State of Virginia, restated their ability to review criminal cases and therefore set the precedent which allows it to review all cases, be they civil or criminal. (That being said, the Cohens' conviction was upheld).
