Ham v. South Carolina 409 U.S. 524 (1973) was a United States Supreme Court decision concerning examinations of prospective jurors during voir dire. The Court held that the trial court’s failure to have the jurors interrogated on the issue of racial bias violated the petitioner’s due process right under the Fourteenth Amendment. This right does not extend to any question of bias but it does not preclude questions of relevant biases.
