Ariz. Supreme Court lets victory
for children’s tuition program stand

ADF filed friend-of-the-court brief at appellate level
on behalf of School Choice Arizona

PHOENIX — The Arizona Supreme Court Tuesday handed a defeat to the American Civil Liberties Union in its attempt to have a program that funds scholarships for low- and middle-income children declared unconstitutional.  The court declined to review a ruling by the Court of Appeals that upheld the program.

The Alliance Defense Fund filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the Court of Appeals in defense of Arizona’s Corporate Tuition Tax Credit Program on behalf of the non-profit student tuition organization School Choice Arizona.

Case Name:  Green v. Garriott
