The format of this monograph follows essentially the arrangement of the day-long conference on Serrano vs. Priest: a major paper presentation, followed by a panel of three respondents, and subsequent general discussion involving the audience and conference participants. The editors have attempted to provide both the formal and the extemporaneous remarks of the speakers. The speakers and their topics are (1) John E. Coons, "An Appraisal on Serrano"; (2) Robert Winger, "Can Serrano v. Priest Be Adopted in Oregon"; (3) David B. Frohnmayer, "The Constitutional Doctrine of Serrano v. Priest"; (4) Laird Kirkpatrick, "The Poor View Serrano"; (5) Charles S. Benson, "Serrano and State Legislatures: Issues of Equality, Quality, and Household Choice"; (6) Richard A. Munn, "Alternative Financial Structures for Oregon Public Education"; (7) Jason Boe, "Serrano, the Oregon Legislature, the Governor's Proposal, the Alternatives and the Dilemma"; and (8) John Edmundson, "Equality, Quality and Household Choice." Appendixes contain (1) a first appraisal of Serrano by John E. Coons, William H. Clune, III, and Stephen D. Sugarman; (2) the complete text of the Serrano decisions; and (3) brief summaries of similar cases in other States. (Author/JF)
