The plaintiffs, John F. Tinker, Christopher Eckhardt, and Mary Beth Tinker originally filed suit against the Des Moines Independent Community School District in US District Court for the Southern District of Iowa in 1966.

The case was dismissed, and the decision affirmed by the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in 1967. The US Supreme Court granted certiorari in 1968, and heard oral arguments on November 12, 1968. The decision was released February 24, 1969.
