In re Gault
Under United States law, the Gaults had only one legal option left.  This option was to appeal to the United States Supreme Court, but to do this, they would need more lawyers, and that would be expensive.  However, lawyers from the Arizona chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) got involved and worked with Amelia Lewis on the Supreme Court appeal.  On December 16, 1966, they went before the Supreme Court.
