Cases: School Choice
School Choice
“In courtrooms across the country, school choice programs are under assault-a single law firm, the Institute for Justice, has found itself defending parents in choice cases before five different state supreme courts.”
—Wall Street Journal
Since 1990, school choice advocates have secured a long string of major policy and legal victories. From groundbreaking decisions in the Wisconsin, Ohio and Arizona Supreme Courts—followed by victory before the U.S. Supreme Court—to new choice programs in Florida and the District of Columbia, the demand for educational freedom is spreading nationwide.
The Institute for Justice continues the battle for school choice in the courtroom and the court of public opinion.
