HONORING THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RATIFICATION OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT: THE EVOLUTION OF EQUAL PROTECTION

Ratified in 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides, in part, that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Over the past 150 years, Congress and the courts have applied this “Equal Protection Clause” to our right to equal education.

Prominent local law school professors will discuss the following noteworthy decisions:
Mendez v. Westminster School District
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka
Lau v. Nichols Regents of the University of California v. Bakke
Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District
