Reed  v.  Reed

Appeal from the Supreme Court of Idaho

No. 70-4  Argued: October 19, 1971 --- Decided: November 22, 1971

A mandatory provision of the Idaho probate code that gives preference to men over women when persons of the same entitlement class apply for appointment as administrator of a decedent's estate is based solely on a discrimination prohibited by and therefore violative of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).
