Although the case was about discriminatory state jury selection and trial practices, it has been cited for many other civil rights precedents in the intervening 50 years.
Even so, it has not been given the prominence it deserves, in part because it lives in the shadow of the more compelling Brown v. There had been earlier efforts to diversify juries, reaching back at least to the trial of Gregorio Cortez in and continuing with efforts by the legendary Oscar Zeta Acosta in Los Angeles in the s. Even as recently as there has been clear evidence that Latino participation in the Texas jury system is still substantially unrepresentative of the growing population.
But in a brief and shining moment in , Mexican-American lawyers prevailed in a system that accorded their community no legal status and no respect.
