Dear Mr. Chambers 1
I am a professor of Anglo-American law at
Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan, currently associated with
Yale Law School as a visiting research fellow. My research
project is on the school desegregation problems, which is one
of the issues I cannot avoid in teaching contemporary American
law.
I attended the hearings before the Supreme
Court last month. I sat through three days arguments impressed
by the complexity and difficulty of problems in this field.
I am also impressed by your presentation of the case before
the Court. I intend to study the subject in depth and wouia
very much like to have a copy of your brief on Swann v. Charlotte
Mechlenburg Board of Education. It would be of invaluable help
for my research if you could make one available for me.
Thanking you in advance, I remain
Sincerely yours,

A portion of the correspondence consists of letters from the public, including hate mail and letters of praise, and of routine letters concerning the gathering and presenting of evidence in court. |
| Collection Description | Files of a Charlotte attorney and his firm, Chambers, Stein, Ferguson, and Lanning, relating to their representation of Darius and Vera Swann and other plaintiffs in the landmark case, Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal courts were constitutionally authorized to exercise broad powers to oversee and produce solutions to achieve school integration, which could include using student quotas as a starting point, and developing new attendance zones and busing policies to achieve more racially balanced schools. Includes pleadings prepared by Chambers and attorneys for the Board of Education at the District, Circuit, and Supreme Court levels; court rulings and opinions; correspondence; clippings; research materials; statistics; desegregation plans prepared by the board and court consultant John Finger; proposed attendance zone maps; transcripts of proceedings; and depositions, briefs, and notes. |
