Justice And School Systems: The Role of the Courts in Education Litigation

This book examines the effectiveness and deficiencies of judicial intervention in solving the problems of discrimination in the nation's schools. The authors present case studies, surveys, and interviews of the lawyers and judges who participated in the leading cases. And they analyze critical issues that remain unresolved, such as the battle over racial desegregation that still rages in Yonkers, New York. Author note: Barbara Flicker is former Executive Director and currently Consulting Director of the Institute of Judicial Administration Inc.
