Even in a nation fed up with juvenile delinquency, that sentence seemed excessive and inspired a spirited defense on Gaults behalf. Led by Norman Dorsen, the ACLU ultimately took Gaults case to the Supreme Court and in 1967 won a landmark decision authored by Justice Abe Fortas. Widely celebrated as the most important childrens rights case of the twentieth century, In re Gault affirmed that children have some of the same rights as adults and formally incorporated the Fourteenth Amendments due process protections into the administration of the nations juvenile courts.
