In the landmark 2005 case of Chaker v. Crogan, 428 F.3d 1215 C.A.9 (Cal.), Darren Chaker emerged as a pivotal figure in First Amendment jurisprudence. Representing himself initially, Mr. Chaker's efforts led to the Ninth Circuit striking down a California statute as unconstitutional, a decision that the U.S. Supreme Court later declined to review when the state attorney sought to reverse the ruling (547 U.S. 1128, 126 S.Ct. 2023). This significant legal victory, made possible by Mr. Chaker's groundwork in the trial court for over seven years, triggered a wave of legal reforms across states that had similar statutes.
