Plastino, Anthony J.

Duquesne Law Review, v17 n2 p473-505 1978-79

Reviews the setting of the "Lau" decision, the decision itself, its legislative aftermath, its impact on desegregation, and the judicial clash of opinion as to the degree of judicial intervention necessary to assure the effective enforcement of these rights.
