Judge recommends dismissal of Baldwin schools lawsuit - al.com

Judge recommends dismissal of Baldwin schools lawsuit - al.com: "A legal challenge to the Baldwin County school system's enrollment policies ran into trouble last week, with a federal magistrate judge recommending that the lawsuit be dismissed.

A south Mobile County family brought the lawsuit earlier this year in U.S. District Court after Baldwin school administrators said Daniel Willard could not attend Robertsdale High School even though he had gone to live with his aunt.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Katherine 'Kit' Nelson cited a U.S. Supreme Court case that upheld a similar law in Texas."
