Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

The Legal Documents series follows the sequential order of court proceedings from the initial complaint filed in 1979 by Sally Frank to the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights to the conclusion in June of 1992 when the United States Supreme Court denied Tiger Inn's petition for writ of certiorari and upheld the New Jersey State Supreme Court decision to admit women. The documents within this series contain originals, drafts, and photocopies of legal briefs, motions, memoranda of law, certificates of service and affidavits that were prepared by Nadine Taub, Sally Frank, and other members of her counsel (as well as from the other parties involved) that were presented to New Jersey state and federal courts. Specifically, interrogatories and stipulations that were created and agreed upon during the fact-finding investigation and conferences; stenographic transcripts of the conferences and of other court hearings; photocopies, and in some cases originals, of court rulings rendered by the New Jersey state and federal courts; and exhibits presented by all parties are included in this series. There may be some duplication of material found in this series within Series 2: Correspondence and Subseries 3D: Exhibit Material.
