Legal Documents

This section of the ACCESS website makes school funding litigation documents available By Case Within State and will make them available By Case Within Type of Document, such as complaints and petitions, briefs on motions to dismiss, appellate briefs, amicus curiae briefs, et cetera.

Summaries of education finance litigations and related issues in each state are available by going to the State-By-State page.

Attorneys beginning the process of considering or building a school funding case may find that the Findings Of Fact And Conclusions Of Law from lower court decisions provide templates of the issues and indicate the types of proofs one needs to prepare for trial in a school funding case.

To add your documents to this resource, send them to us at: access@cfequity.org or ACCESS/CFE, 6 East 43rd Street, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10017.
