Legal Opinion on Jury Inclusion and Civil Rights in North Carolina
WaavicTor North Carolina November 25 1881 P Canaday asks for opinion on jury selection excluding colored citizens. The reply cites the 13th 14th and 15th amendments and US Supreme Court rulings to argue that state officers cannot discriminate in jury lists. It notes federal enforcement through Congress and cautions indictments for officials who exclude based on race, with references to Ex parte Virginia and Strander v West Virginia and Virginia v Rives as supporting precedent.
