In the struggle to ensure that schools receive their fair share of
financial and educational resources, reformers translate policy
goals into legal claims in a number of different ways. This
enlightening new work uncovers the options reformers have in
framing legal challenges and how the choices they make affect
politics and policy beyond the courtroom.
Focusing on two of the most controversial and far-reaching court
decisions in the nation in school finance and education reform,
"Framing Equal Opportunity" follows lawyers and activists in New
Jersey and Kentucky as they negotiate the complicated political
terrain of educational change in their respective states. Unlike
other books on law and reform, this work emphasizes the importance
of legal translation--the process through which reformers transform
their visions and goals into plausible legal claims. As it reveals,
the kinds of arguments lawyers choose to make matter not only to
their success in the courtroom, but also to the nature of the
political fights they face in the community at large.
