Brown and Bakke: The Relation between Judicial Decisions and Socioeconomic Conditions.

Scott, James F.

Phylon, v41 n3 p235-46 Sep 1980

Considers the Supreme Court Brown and Bakke decisions the results of socioeconomic influences rather than of moral imperative. Discusses social conditions as influences on judicial processes, economic conditions in the United States when the decisions were made, and the effects of the decisions on school desegregation, educational competition, and the job market.
