Presented by the Northern District of California Historical Society,
co-sponsored by the Ninth Judicial Circuit Historical Society
and the California Supreme Court Historical Society: 

At the height of the Great Depression, California passed an “Anti-Okie” law, making it a misdemeanor to knowingly assist a pauper in entering the state. Edwards was convicted under this law after he had driven to Texas and then returned to California with his indigent brother-in-law.

Caragozian, centering on the constitutionality of California’s anti-Okie law in the 1941 United States Supreme Court case, Edwards v. California. Welcome and introduction by Richard Rahm.

Registration is free; 1.0 hour of California MCLE available for $35.00.
