Courts Order Alabama to Include Women on Juries
A federal panel ruled Alabama must begin including women on state court juries and found Lowndes County had systematically kept Negroes off jury rolls. Another ruling allows possible jail time for some out of state motorists over traffic offenses. The decision notes jury service is a right and duty of all citizens and that restricting it to men violates the 14th Amendment. The court kept the existing law on women jurors in place until June 1967 to allow legislative debate on mandatory versus voluntary service.
