Korematsu v. United States at 80 - Reenactment & Re-litigation

Korematsu v. United States at 80 - Reenactment & Re-litigation

The Robert H. Jackson Center, APABA-DC, and the George Washington University Law School 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 conviction for violating the 1942 U.S. military order excluding Japanese Americans from the West Coast.
