<DIV>Have you been in touch with the National Center for Youth Law? They've tried to track this for many years. The latest edition of their summary of such litigation is here: <A href="http://www.youthlaw.org/dockets/LitigationDocket_Dec2004.DOC";>http://www.youthlaw.org/dockets/LitigationDocket_Dec2004.DOC</A> They might be able to make available past editions as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here's the contact info: 405 - 14th Street, 15th Floor, Oakland, California 94612-2701, <BR ALIGN="CENTER">510-835-8098, fax 510-835-8099, email <A href="mailto:info@youthlaw.org"; target="">info@youthlaw.org</A><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Also, does the litigation have to cover an entire state, or only a part? For example, a lawsuit concerning Broward County, Florida led to a settlement that lasted a couple of years. I can provide you with contact information for the lawyer who represented the plaintiffs if you need it.</DIV>
