LITIGATION

Each Child, Every Child.

Litigation

The Rose v. Council for Better Education decision marked a pivotal moment in Kentucky's public education. It ordered the legislature to overhaul the system to ensure an "efficient system of common schools throughout the state" with equal opportunities for all children, irrespective of economic background or district. Chief Justice Robert Stephens emphasized state funding for this mandate and set a one-year deadline. The subsequent legislative response, the Kentucky Education Reform Act, aimed to meet this challenge, shaping the future of education funding in the state.

All advocacy is, at its core, an exercise in empathy.
