Biography
Hugh R. Manes was a civil rights attorney, senior partner, legal advocate, published author, lecturer, and consultant who
practiced law in Los Angeles for the majority of his career. As an attorney, Manes specialized in criminal and constitutional
law, and since the 1960s represented victims of police misconduct, brutality, and abuse. Manes tried more than 400 cases throughout
his professional career, and served as a civil rights legal advocate during critical social justice struggles in both the
Los Angeles area and in the South. He lectured extensively and authored journal articles, reports, and seminar syllabi on
topics related to police misconduct practices, civil rights litigation, legal activism, and populations socially, economically,
and politically disenfranchised from the legal sphere. Manes worked with legal advocacy organizations including the National
Lawyers Guild and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and helped to establish the State Bar certified Police Watch
(formerly Police Misconduct Lawyers Referral Service). He was also a member of the Board of Directors of National Coalition
of Concerned Legal Professionals, Southern California Coalition of Concerned Legal Professionals, and California Attorneys
for Criminal Justice.
Born on July 7, 1924 in Chicago, Manes was raised in a middle-class Jewish family. While in high school and college, Manes
wrote creatively. After graduating from high school, Manes joined the Army and served in Europe during World War II until
he was injured and awarded a Purple Heart and Silver Star. In 1949 he earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science from
the University of California, Los Angeles, and in 1952 a Juris Doctor degree from Northwestern University Law School. He began
practicing law under the auspices of A.L. Wirin, who was chief counsel of the ACLU in Los Angeles. During this span of his
career, Manes served as part of a legal team representing disenfranchised African-Americans in Mississippi, Japanese-Americans
who had been interned during WWII, and resisters of the draft during the Vietnam War. Manes practiced solo beginning in 1955,
and from 1968 to 1970 was a partner in Finkel, Manes & Stewart. In the 1970s, Manes prevailed in two landmark police misconduct
cases upholding civil rights claims: Sullivan v. County of Los Angeles (1974) and Williams v. Horvath (1976). In 1983, he
and partner Carol Watson established the firm of Manes & Watson, and thereafter Manes litigated mostly police misconduct cases
against Los Angeles law enforcement agencies. In 1995, Manes, along with two other attorneys, won for the plaintiffs the largest
sum of money recorded at the time for a police misconduct case in Talamaivao v. County of Los Angeles.
Manes passed away on June 13, 2009, at the age of 84.
Scope and Content
The Hugh R. Manes Papers document the professional life of the pioneering Los Angeles-based civil rights attorney whose career
mainly focused on pursuing justice for victims of police misconduct and brutality. The papers date from 1940 to 2009, with
the majority from the 1960s to the 1990s. The collection is mostly comprised of Manes's case files while he was an attorney
in practice with Wirin, Rissman & Okrand; a partner with Finkel, Manes & Stewart; and as a partner in Manes & Watson. Included
are legal briefs, pre-trial motions, trial proceedings, exhibit files, depositions, summons, interview transcripts, newspaper
clippings, correspondences, legal invoices, court receipts, handwritten legal notes, evidentiary photos, and other legal documents.
The case files series features landmark cases relating to civil rights claims in the 1960s and 1970s in Canton, Mississippi
and in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, and police abuse cases occurring at the hands of local Los Angeles
law enforcement agencies. Other materials in these series include unlabeled reel-to-reel audio recordings; audio-cassette
recordings of witness statements in a few of Manes's larger cases; printed copies of historic cases Manes likely reviewed
in preparation for trial; and criminal case files in which Manes acted as legal counsel for the defendant. Some material such
as medical and psychiatric evaluations, receipts, and official hospital records, as well as some photos are restricted and
unavailable to researchers.
The collection also houses Manes's published and unpublished manuscripts, which include seminar and course syllabi; speeches
and essays; law journal articles, briefs and reports; and creative fiction and radio scripts written while in high school
and college. Manes's personal and political activities series contains the fewest boxes and prominently features the Federal
Bureau of Investigations (FBI) "Secret File" maintained on Manes as a result of his representation of individuals targeted
by the House Un-American Activities Committee and conscientious objectors to the Vietnam War draft. A few details on Manes's
personal life are reflected in the files related to the estate and guardianship of his son, Macabee Manes, and in the small
amount of correspondence between him and his ex-wife, Sheila Goldring.
