Jabara vs. Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI)

Scope and content:: The Jabara vs. FBI subseries consists mainly of court documents stemming from the lengthy trial that spanned the administration of several FBI directors including L. Patrick Gray, Clarence M. Kelley, and William H. Webster. In the various suits, Jabara contended that his civil rights were violated as the FBI monitored his activities through wiretapping and surveillance. The files also contain a large amount of correspondence including that between Jabara and John H.F. Shattuck, his ACLU lawyer. Jabara eventually won his case against the FBI in 1984.
