Washington Law Review

Defendant, the Seattle School Board, attempted to implement a plan to desegregate the Seattle school system. The plan included the restructuring of school grade classifications in accordance with a "middle school" concept,' and mandatory reassignment of approximately 850 black and white sixth, seventh and eighth grade children from their "neighborhood schools"' to schools in other areas of the city. Mandatory bussing was not required, but bus transportation was to be available for those students who desired it. Plaintiffs, Citizens Against Mandatory Bussing (CAMB), obtained an injunction restraining implementation of the plan for one year. The basis for the injunction was …

Educational Financing, Equal Protection Of The Laws, And The Supreme Court, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Recently, state systems of financing public education have been overturned or seriously threatened by several state and federal court cases based on the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment. Rodriguez v. San Antonio Independent School District, which invalidated the Texas system of educational financing, will be argued before the Supreme Court next term. This Comment will examine the doctrinal and policy problems that the Court will confront and the alternative solutions that are available to the Court when it considers the constitutionality of the Texas system, which is typical of the educational financing programs that have generated so …

Vanderbilt Law Review

In the recent decision of Bradley v. School Board, a Virginia federal court ordered the consolidation of the predominantly black Richmond school district with the surrounding all-white suburban school districts of Henrico and Chesterfield Counties. This decision marks the first time that a court has consolidated two or more autonomous school districts for the purpose of achieving a racial balance in the schools that reflects the racial composition of the consolidated areas as a whole. While Judge Merhige in Bradley punctiliously followed the principles enunciated by the Supreme Court in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education and its earlier desegregation …

Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson Jan 1972

Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1972 session of the General Assembly was especially active in the areas of wills, trusts, and estates. Much of this legislation deals with fine points not affecting the average lawyer in his practice. However, the following items of legislation should be of general interest to the attorney whose practice involves probate work or estate planning, even though he does not hold himself out as a specialist in these areas.

In the past three years, suits under 42 United States Code §1983 against school boards and school board members have burgeoned. Suits have been brought by teachers involved in union activity, by teachers who allege nonrenewal of contracts due to racial discrimination, by pupils who challenge hair and dress regulations, by unwed mothers who seek readmission to school, and by militant students who claim the right to practice-teach


Parochiad And Prayer: A Perplexing Problem, William R. Fifner Jan 1972

Parochiad And Prayer: A Perplexing Problem, William R. Fifner

Cleveland State Law Review

This paper is limited to a chronological examination of decisions of the United States Supreme Court involving aid to parochial education, an exploration of possible future aids, and inquiry into the question whether the extent of present aid and of possible future aid indicates that parochial schools and the general public are, or will be, on a collision course with respect to the free exercise of religion.


Serrano: Its Progeny And Its Prophecy, James T. Flaherty Jan 1972

Serrano: Its Progeny And Its Prophecy, James T. Flaherty

Cleveland State Law Review

No court decision since the Brown' decrees of 1954 have had such a devastating effect on the educational status quo as has the California STATE AID PROPERTY Tax decision of Serran and its progeny. Here, the California Supreme Court declared that unequal financing of public schools, based primarily on the local property tax, is a violation of the equal protection clause in that it "invidiously discriminates" against the poor.


Education At A Discount: Qualifying For Resident Tuition At State Universities, Barry D. Glazer Jan 1972

Education At A Discount: Qualifying For Resident Tuition At State Universities, Barry D. Glazer

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

One recurring problem is the reclassification of those students initially classified as nonresidents who have thereafter decided to become residents of the state and thereby seek to take advantage of the lower tuition offered to residents. This article identifies the major difficulties in changing classification and analyzes some of the constitutional questions concerning the application of the nonresident tuition fee subsequent to Starns. Additionally, the article examines the extent to which proposed model legislation on tuition residency solves the existing objections to the application of the nonresident tuition fee at state universities.
