Thompson v. City of Louisville
''Thompson v. City of Louisville'', 362 U.S. 199 (1960), was a decision of the United States Supreme Court in which the Court unanimously held that it is a violation of due process to convict a person of an offense when there is no evidence of his guilt. It is one of the rare instances of the Supreme Court's granting ''certiorari'' to review a decision of a court so insignificant (the Police Court of Louisville, Kentucky) that state law does not provide any mechanism for appeals from its judgments.〔As explained during oral argument, Kentucky provides no appellate review of Police Court cases when the fine is less than $20. The fine here was $10, but it was one of a long series of similar fines. According to counsel for Thompson, as stated in (oral argument ), this reflected a police vendetta against Thompson for perceived uppitiness.〕
The case is sometimes referred to as the "Shuffling Sam" case, because the petitioner Sam Thompson was known locally as "Shuffling Sam."〔See (Lewiston Daily Sun ), ''High Court Backs Shufflin' Sam'' (Mar 22, 1960).〕 The Court noted, "There is no evidence that anyone else in the cafe objected to petitioner's shuffling his feet in rhythm with the music of the jukebox."〔362 U.S. at 202.

Associate Justice Hugo Black delivered the opinion of the court. The case was briefed and argued for Thompson by several notable former law clerks of justices of the Court.〔Louis Lusky argued the cause for petitioner. He had been law clerk for United States Supreme Court Justice Harlan F. Stone from 1937-38. With him on the brief were Harold Leventhal and Eugene Gressman. Leventhal was law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justices Harlan F. Stone from 1937-1938 and Stanley F. Reed in 1938, and later a federal court of appeals judge. Gressman was law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy from 1943-1948, and later was co-author of a leading treatise on Supreme Court practice and procedure, . See generally List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States.〕
