Escola v. Coca Cola Bottling Company of Fresno

Pam Karlan

There's something poetic about the fact that the plaintiff's name is Gladys Escola, no? There are a number of famous cases in the law with oddly suitable captions. My favorite is Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967), involving a couple who sued successfully to overturn Virginia's ban on interracial marriage. There also Truelove v. Truelove, 488 So. 2d 174 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1986). Maybe not: it was a divorce proceeding.
