Learning about the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest with Tim Hogan
We’ll take a look at many of the politically significant class-action lawsuits against public entities in the state of Arizona over the last 30 years. More often than not, you will find the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest representing the plaintiffs.
These include a recent lawsuit against the state for failing to fund education at levels mandated by the voters in a citizen initiative. Other cases have involved campaign finance reform, civil rights, consumer rights, enforcing the federal Clean Air Act, litigation over state trust lands, school vouchers, the rights of English language learners and river and streambed protection.
