Korematsu v. United States at 80: Reenactment and Re-litigation
October 9 @ 4:00 am - 6:00 pm

The Robert H. Jackson Center and George Washington University School of Law present two mock oral arguments featuring leading judges and lawyers: a reenactment of October 1944 U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments in the Korematsu case, and a mock civil case being litigated today by a “Fred Korematsu” who is subjected to an order to leave his home and report to a location from which he will be sent to a detention center.
In Korematsu (1944), the Supreme Court affirmed the constitutionality of Mr. Korematsu’s criminal conviction for violating the 1942 U.S. military order excluding Japanese-Americans from the West Coast.
Registration is required and a limited-availability reception will follow the event. Please contact info@roberthjackson.org or call (716) 483-6646 for more information.
