Preferred term

U.S. Supreme Court cases in education  

Definition

  • To paraphrase Alexis de Tocqueville, an early writer on the American democracy, every educational issue eventually becomes a judicial question, and those judicial questions eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Indeed, it seems that there is virtually not a single aspect of education that the Court has not addressed at some point in its history.
