Key Case: Gonzaga v. Doe

  • Organization: NCRCR
  • Date Created: Thursday, October 13, 2005
  • Submitted: Thursday, October 13, 2005
  • Attachment(s): HTM

This critical case establishes a precedent that has caused the courts across the country to refuse to hear other suits regarding civil rights matters in the areas of housing, health care, education, the environment, and privacy. As a result of Gonzaga, there are a vast array of other civil rights that can no longer be enforced when they are violated. The potential and importance of this decision is devastating.
