Doris O. Wong Associates, Inc., is celebrating its 46th anniversary!!!



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.
