A History Lesson for All Attorneys
California Bar Journal (April 2004)
A dedicated team of lawyers fought to have the criminal conviction of Fred Korematsu and a number of other Japanese-Americans overturned. Two attorneys, Dale Minami, a 1971 graduate of the Boalt Hall Law School at the University of California, Berkeley, the first president of the Asian Pacific Bar Association of California, and Donald Tamaki, also a graduate of Boalt Hall and former executive director of the Asian Law Caucus, worked diligently along with a number of other attorneys in getting the Korematsu case overturned.
