Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit July 31, 1978, No. 76-3722 (Foster v. Boise-Cascade, Inc.)

JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge:

A class of black, female citizens filed suit on August 5, 1974, alleging discrimination on the basis of race and sex in the composition of the jury roll and box in Talladega County, Alabama.1 At the time of filing, women constituted 53.8% of the county population of an age to serve on a jury, but made up only 33.4% of the names on the jury roll — a differential of 20.
