Zusammenfassung:Probably no decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States since Dred Scott v. Sanford, 19 Howard 393 (1857), have provoked as much public discussion, excitement, even disorder, as the school segregation cases, decided in May, 1954, and the implementing decisions of May, 1955. The Journal, much importuned by writers of numerous articles, and desiring to confine the discussion to the area of scholarly legal debate, herewith presents discussions deemed fairly representative of both sides of the issue. The legal viewpoint of many Southern legal writers is espoused in the first article by Eugene Cook, Attorney General of Georgia, and William I. Potter, of Kansas City, Missouri. The contrary viewpoint is presented by George W. Stumberg, Professor of Law at the University of Texas (page 318).
