Ivlarch 27, I986 MEI'IORAIIDUM TO: FROM : RE IVIEMORANDUM Appeals Committee Lani Guinier LDF participation California Supreme in petition to Court I recommend LDF sign on to an origj-nal petition j-n the California Suprene Court that seeks, pursuant to Californj-a statutes and regulations providing mandatory outreach by county registration offi- cials, d.eputization of public employees as registrars. I recommend we participate to enforce the California statutes in an attempt to interpret "outreach" liberal1y to emphasize qovernment' s responsibility to enroll eligible voters. I am avail- able to revievr the final petition and to participate in strategy discussions with the primary attorneys. I envision a role similar to the one we played with the NYCLU in elCg-k v. Cuomg. Especially since we do fula-raisingE Caliiornia,' our 1ow key participation in this case should be extremely cost effective. A draft petition is attached. The final petition will be filed April 8.
