Talk:In re Gault

Untitled

After the decision what was the affect off the decision upon the person (Gault) and persons involved? Did they release him? How long was he in reform school? Did he sue for false imprisonment and/or violation of Civil Rights / Constitutional Rights? ETC . . . --Bmoshier (talk) 16:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Cap or lowercase on "re"?

Shouldn't this article be title "In re Gault", parallel with similar articles such as In re Debs and In re Guardianship of Kowalski? 68.99.138.152 04:31, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I've moved it now the lower-case "r". Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

accuracy of quote

Someone left a note in article:

In an 8-1 decision the Supreme Court ruled that Gault’s commitment to the State Industrial School "was a clear violation of his 14th Amendment due process rights, since he had been denied the right to legal counsel, had not been formally notified of the charges against him, had not been informed of his right against self-incrimination (remain silent), had no opportunity to confront his accusers and had been given no right to appeal his sentence to a higher court."(this quote is incorrect, it does not appear in the opinion)

Since I'm not familiar with the truth or falsehood of the statement, but it is inappropriate in the article, I moved it here.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:23, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
