Robinson v. Cahill

On January 30, 1976, a majority of this Court sustained the facial validity of the Public School Education Act of 1975 (“the 1975 Act”), L. 1975, c. 212, N. J. S. A. 18A:7A-1 et seq. Robinson v. Cahill, 69 N. J. 449 (Robinson V). The enactment of this statute on September 29, 1975, was the culmination of several years of litigation and of activity by the other branches of government consequent upon the adjudication by this Court of the unconstitutionality of the provisions of previous statutes governing the financing of public schools.
