| description | <p>This policy brief examines a critical aspect of quality education litigation: the tools available to courts to fashion and ensure implementation of a constitutional method of funding public education to improve schools.</p> <p>As a case study, the brief analyzes the techniques employed by the New Jersey Supreme Court in providing a remedy to disadvantaged urban school children in the long-running Abbott v. Burke case.</p> <p>The Abbott litigation offers important lessons on how courts can improve their competency to fashion and direct implementation of a remedy to vindicate constitutionally guaranteed socio-economic rights, particularly when they implicate politically vulnerable or disenfranchised groups or classes of citizens.</p> |
