Recent court decisions -- the Rodriguez case decided by the United States Supreme Court and the Robinson case decided by the New Jersey Supreme Court -- have raised questions about the future of educational finance reform at the State level. In Rodriguez, the Supreme Court found no constitutional basis for mandating change in the Texas system; while the New Jersey court relied on its own State Constitution to mandate change in the State. The report provides each court's rationale for its decision and suggests future trends in court decisions. (JF)
