Sobol's LCDC cases other than Duncan

[edit]

School desegregation cases

[edit]

In Moses v. Washington Parish School Board, the federal district court required establishment of biracial attendance zones in lieu of the freedom of choice plan previously relied upon as the means of disestablishing a segregated school system.[1]

In Carter v. West Feliciana School Board, the Supreme Court of the United States summarily reversed an en banc decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which would have afforded Southern school districts an additional year in which to implement plans for the disestablishment of segregated school systems. Sobol originally filed this case shortly after arriving as an LCDC summer volunteer in 1965.[2]
