Doris
O. Wong Associates, Inc., is celebrating its 46th anniversary this
month! Listed below are some of the major Supreme Court decisions of
1967, the year we first opened our doors:
Whitus
v. Georgia, 385
US 545 (1967)
Held
that Georgia’s jury selection process employed unconstitutional racial
discrimination tactics.
In
Re Gault, 387 US
1 (1967)
Held
that juveniles accused of crimes in delinquency proceedings were entitled to
the same Fourteenth Amendment Due Process protection as adults.
Afroyim
v. Rusk, 387 US
253 (1967)
Held
that the federal government cannot strip a person of his or her citizenship.
Loving
v Virginia, 388
US 1 (1967)
Landmark
civil rights case that declared Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act of 1924, which
prohibited interracial marriage, unconstitutional. This overturned the
1883 Supreme Court case Pace v Alabama, (1883) and invalidated all
race-related legal restrictions on marriage.
Katz
v. United States,
389 US 347 (1967)
Extended
Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure to include
warrantless wire-tapping.
All
of us at Doris O. Wong Associates, Inc., extend our sincere thanks for your
loyal patronage and look forward to being of continued service in the years to
come.
