In re Summers 325 U.S. 561 (1945) is a 5-to-4 ruling by the United States Supreme Court which held that the First and Fourtheenth amendment freedoms of a conscientious objector were not infringed when a state bar association declined to admit him to the practice of law. The Illinois Constitution required citizens to serve in the state militia in time of war and all lawyers admitted to the bar were required to uphold the state constitution.
