Solomon amendment case briefs
October 30, 2005 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo

Rumsfeld v. Forum For Academic and Institutional Rights is the Solomon Amendment case which will be argued in the US Supreme Court on December 6.

• The government has filed its Reply Brief for the Petitioners.


• We also have a collection of other briefs.

Here is the official "QUESTION PRESENTED"

The Solomon Amendment, 10 U.S.C. 983(b)(1), as amended by the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, Pub. L. No. 108-375, Div. A., Tit. V, Subtit. F, § 552(a) to (d), 118 Stat. 1911, withholds specified federal funds from institutions of higher education that deny military recruiters the same access to campuses and students that they provide to other employers. The question presented is whether the court of appeals erred in holding that the Solomon Amendment likely violates the First Amendment to the Constitution and in directing a preliminary injunction to be issued against its enforcement.
