Selective Service System v. Minnesota Public Interest Research Group (1983)

Docket
83-276
Decided
1983-01-01

Summary

Question: Did compelling individuals to state whether or not they had registered violate the Fifth Amendment? Conclusion: The Court upheld the law. Since no student is compelled to seek financial aid, requiring an applicant to state whether or not he had registered for the draft would not be equivalent to forcing an individual to incriminate himself.
