Adler v. Duval County Sch. Bd.

Adler v. Duval County Sch. Bd., 250 F. 3d 1330 (11th Cir. 2001) (en banc) – Students in Duval County gained the right to present graduation speeches of their choosing, which could include student-initiated prayers. Liberty Counsel successfully intervened on behalf of students in a case brought by the ACLU. The case went to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals three time and twice to the U.S. Supreme Court and established the legal principle that public schools are free to adopt a policy that permits students or other speakers to present secular or religious messages, including prayer, at commencement ceremonies.
