General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Northcross v. Board of Ed. Of Memphis City Schools, 412 U.S. 427 (1973)
Northcross v. Board of Education of Memphis City Schools No. 72-1164 Decided June 4, 1973 412 U.S. 427
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED
STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Since the Court of Appeals’ denial of costs and attorneys’ fees under § 718 of the Emergency School Aid Act of 1972 to petitioners, who were successful in litigation aimed at desegregating the public schools of Memphis, Tenn., was without stated reasons, this Court cannot determine whether the proper standard, Newman v. Piggie Park Enterprises, Inc., 390 U.S. 400, was correctly applied.
Certiorari granted; vacated and remanded.
