Rene A. Viosca

Rene A. Viosca (November 14, 1890 – September 16, 1973) was a justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court from 1959 to 1960.

As a state court judge, in 1957, Viosca ruled in favor of boxer Ralph Dupas in a suit to establish Dupas' race, with Dupas contending that he was white, and therefore permitted to box white opponents in then-segregated Louisiana.

Viosca ran for the Louisiana Supreme Court unsuccessfully, but was temporarily appointed to the court following the sudden death of Justice Amos Lee Ponder.
