Lewis Ransburgh Sr. v. State of Mississippi and Mississippi Parole Board

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that parents plausibly alleged that the “nonsectarian” requirement violates their rights under the Free Exercise Clause because it excludes religious schools
  • concluding that identification of a “discriminatory barrier” is not sufficient to establish standing; the claimant must also have suffered a concrete and particularized injury that is actual or imminent
  • “In discriminatory barrier cases[,] the denial of equal treatment resulting from the imposition of the barrier is a cognizable injury even apart from the ultimate inability to obtain the benefit.” (internal quotation marks omitted)
