Perklns v. ClLnton

I am enclosing coples of our brlef ln the Baldwln County

conmission caEe and Judge Thompsonrs recent decLelon in the
Baldwln County Board of EducatLon ca6e. The courtrs dLecusslon

of compactnees tn t 2 cageg could be helpful in perkl-ns. rn
e88ence, Bardwln county waE a line-drawing ca6e, becauge the
defendants pretty nuch conceded that at-large electLons vlolated
S 2 and the real question was rrhether thelr plan or oura 17aE the
proper remedy. (Do not be confueed by the referenceE to at-Iarge
erectlons Ln the memoi the commission, unrlke the Board of
EducatJ.on, dld not develop an SMD plan. )

Let me know what else I can do to help.
