Levy v. Louisiana 391 U.S. 68 (1968) is a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. This decision deals primarily with the civil rights of illegitimate children specifically in regards to their ability to sue on a deceased parent’s behalf. It held that the right of recovery may not be denied merely because a person is the illegitimate child of the deceased because such a law would violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
