"Kiryas Joel Village School District v. Grumet": The Establishment Clause Controversy Continues.

Schimmel, David

West's Education Law Quarterly, v4 n1 p154-66 Jan 1995

In "Kiryas Joel," a sharply divided Supreme Court ruled that a New York law establishing a separate school district for a group of Orthodox Hasidic Jews was unconstitutional. Outlines the unusual facts in "Kiryas Joel" and summarizes Justice Souter's opinion of the Court, Justice Scalia's detailed dissent, and the four diverse concurring opinions. (58 footnotes) (MLF)
