Court to release audiotapes of school cases
on Nov 27, 2006 at 2:20 pm
The Supreme Court will release on a same-day basis the audiotapes of the oral arguments next Monday, Dec. 4, in the two cases on the use of race in assignment of students to public schools. The Court’s press release can be found here. The cases test whether the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing some use of race in college admissions decisions apply to the K-12 public schools.
The Court will be hearing Parents Involved v. Seattle School District (05-908) at 10 a.m. Monday, and a case from Louisville, Ky., Meredith v. Jefferson County Board of Education (05-915) at 11 a.m. The audiotapes of each will be made available for public rebroadcast shortly after the conclusion of each of the arguments, the Court said.
This is the second time this Term that the Court has promptly released the audiotapes of arguments. It did so earlier in two abortion cases.
As is now the regular practice, the Court will be releasing on its website the written transcripts of all oral arguments, within about two hours after the conclusion of each argument.
