The United States system of funding schools with local property tax dollars leads to qualitative disparities across school districts. It is crucial that state courts address this problem, since no federal right to education exists. Students and parents have successfully challenged these funding systems in many states, but courts in seven states - citing the political question doctrine - have refused to review these claims. It appears that most of these states lack a coherent political question history and have used the prudential standing doctrine to avoid education claims specifically. This Note argues that the political question doctrine should not be used as an excuse to ignore educational adequacy cases in states with an affirmative constitutional right to education.

BACKGROUND ON NCLB AND HIGH-STAKES TESTING A. NCLB NCLB is the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.3 President George W. Bush signed NCLB into law in January 2002 .4 NCLB applies to any school that receives Title I funds, which are federal funds provided to schools with a high percentage of students from low income backgrounds.5 Title I funds are intended to supplement state educational funding and spending.6 Under NCLB, the states design the curriculum and the assessment, and the federal government holds the states accountable for how students perform on the assessments.7 Under NCLB , states have to report test results publicly via an annual report card.8 Test results are disaggregated by state, district, and school, into subgroups by gender, race, ethnicity, ...

Nearly every significant case analyzing public school teacher speech rights in the classroom involves affirmative expression. This should come as no surprise, given that the learning process in the classroom is built on active speech, mostly by the teacher. In Palmer v. Board of Education, one of the few cases to squarely address the issue of a teacher's negative speech rights in the classroom, the Seventh Circuit answered with a conclusory "No." This comment proposes that school districts and school boards should be required to make reasonable accommodations for teachers who refuse to teach material that directly violates their deeply held and preexisting personal or religious beliefs. Overall, the reasonable accommodation standard balances rather than frustrates the significant intere...

Hold an educational session. Presenting free information at a public event is a good way to drum up work, says William H. Reynolds, a family law/civil litigation solo in Kansas City. "The best way there is to build a book of business might be to put on a free seminar," he says. "That would be a good way to market yourself outside of traditional marketing to other lawyers. Connect with non-legal professionals. Hobnobbing with attorneys may expand your clientele, but networking should cast a wider net. Look for opportunities to make connections in other circles. For instance, financial planners or pastors may be of help in referring estate cases, Reynolds says. "If you are doing family law, remember that people often talk to a therapist before contemplating divorce, so you might wo...
