Author Biography: Anna Lukemeyer

Book Synopsis

Having trained in both law and social science, Lukemeyer (public administration, U. of Nevada-Las Vegas) decided that professionals in both fields could benefit from insights in the other about school finance reform. She explains the role of legal cases in reform and how they can be used for further research; and how judges, lawyers, and plaintiffs can use the insights developed in the social sciences. She looks at 25 years of cases ending in 1996. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
