On Nov. 13, 2000, Eagle Forum Education & Legal Defense Fund
filed an amicus curiae brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in the case
of Alexander v. Sandoval. In this case, the Court will decide whether
Alabama may require applicants for a driver's license to pass a
test that is administered only in the English language. The Court
will review the decision of a federal district judge, Ira DeMent, who
ordered Alabama to administer its driver's license test in Spanish.
Judge DeMent's order was upheld by the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of
Appeals.
