What is the caselaw for the Korematsu v. United States?

Question

I need any caselaw that they used in the case and any information on the Civilian Exclusion Order No. 34 and the Executive Order No. 9066... please and thank you ^-^

I have the opinion of the Supreme Court for this case and I am aware of the appeal in 1983, but for my project I need the caselaw used in the 1944 case only... we're writing a brief for specfic cases

Answer 1

Don't stop with the Supreme Court decision - you need also to review Judge Patel's 1983 ruling setting aside Fred Korematsu's conviction, which was upheld in the initial Korematsu vs. United States, 321 U.S. 760 (1944).

Answer 2

Korematsu v. United States
Decided December 18, 1944

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT.


CERTIORARI, 321 U.S. 760, to review the affirmance of a judgment of conviction.

Civilian Exclusion Order No. 34 which, during a state of war with Japan and as a protection against espionage and sabotage, was promulgated by the Commanding General of the Western Defense Command under authority of Executive Order No. 9066 and the Act of March 21, 1942, and which directed the exclusion after May 9, 1942 from a described West Coast military area of all persons of Japanese ancestry, held constitutional as of the time it was made and when the petitioner -- an American citizen of Japanese descent whose home was in the described area -- violated it.
