Three illustrations of what I mean

It's hard to articulate. These matters below are neither necessarily unusual or unsatisfying; but they show how courts and the Commissioner determine more than guilt or innocence.

• Woods v. Rondout Valley Central School District .

(466 F.3d 232). Eleventh Amendment issue

• Appeal of Bitteker, Dec.#14,326
  

Dismissed as untimely and moot

• Appeal of Nett and Raby, Dec. #15,315

School board member found to have breached NYS confidentiality laws but not removed from office

• Sheff v. O'neill (298 Conn. 1) [memorandum]

Connecticut court found that Hartford schools were racially segregated. Instead of acting by itself, court showed restraint, allowing the legislature and executive branch to find a remedy.
