High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court held that United States federal courts were required to abstain from hearing any civil rights tort claims brought by a person who is currently being prosecuted for a matter arising from that claim. For example, if an individual who was charged with drug possession believes that the search was illegal, and in violation of their Fourth Amendment rights, that person may ultimately have a cause of action to sue the state for illegally searching him. A California statute prohibited advocating "unlawful acts of force or violence [to] effect[] political change." The defendant, Harris, was charged with violating the statute, and he sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to get an injunction preventing District Attorney Younger from enforcing the law on the grounds that it violated the free speech guarantee.
