Shaw v. Reno 509 U.S. 630 (1993) was a United States Supreme Court case argued on April 20 1993. The ruling was significant in the area of redistricting and racial gerrymandering. The court ruled in a 5-4 decision that redistricting based on race must be held to a standard of strict scrutiny under the equal protection clause. On the other hand bodies doing redistricting must be conscious of race to the extent that they must ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act.
