Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper sets out to explain elements of the relatively stable norm of unanimity on the US Supreme Court in educational desegregation cases between1948 and 1971. In particular, it focuses on the beginning and end of these periods, and of the norm: on the means by which it was constructed and by which it fell. In this paper, there are two sets of questions I try to address: why and how was unanimity created as a norm in the educational desegregation cases leading up to Brown; and why and how did it crumble at the end of this period?
