Preferred term

Roemer v. Board of Public Works of Maryland  

Definition

  • In Roemer v. Board of Public Works of Maryland (1976), the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a program from Maryland that made public funds available to religiously affiliated institutions of higher education. Roemer is a relatively obscure case in the academic literature, because not a single law review article has been devoted exclusively to an analysis of the Court's judgment, even though it is cited frequently in these writings.
