35 Preview U.S. Sup. Ct. Cas. 1 (2007-2008)

handle is hein.journals/prvw34 and id is 1 raw text is: Issue No. 1 Volume No. 35 October 1, 2007 Division for Public Education COVERING THE COURT'S ENTIRE OCTOBER CALENDAR OF CASES, INCLUDING ... BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK v. TOM F. EX REL. GILBERT F. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is a federal law intended to ensure that all children with disabilities have access to a free and appropriate education. This case asks the Supreme Court to clarify the circumstances in which parents who believe their special-needs children cannot obtain such an education in the public schools may be reimbursed for their private-school tuition payments. GALL V. UNITED STATES AND KIMBROUGH V. UNITED STATES In its surprising 2005 Booker ruling, the Supreme Court held that judicial fact-finding under the mandatory federal Sentencing Guidelines violated the Sixth Amendment but then devised a remedy by making the guidelines effectively advisory. Booker also held that courts of appeals should now review sentences for reasonableness. Last term, the Court in Rita held that circuit courts may presume that a sentence within the guidelines is reasonable; now in Gall and Kimbrough the Court will examine how the reasonableness standard should apply in the review of sentences outside the guidelines. www.supremecourtpreview.org :I =I ___ - W W W W W 111111ii IMI
