Atty. Chester Darling Wins Big Case Against Lynn Schools Atty. Chester Darling won his big case against the Lynn public schools yesterday as a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Boston overruled trial judge Nancy Gertner, who had held against Darling. The story was reported by MassNews this way back in 2002. “The full power of both state and local government was used in court to defend the Mass. law which allows the assignment of children to different schools based solely upon their race -- and pays a premium to those schools who do so. “There were eight lawyers (and even more assistants) in a U.S. District courtroom in Boston against the embattled Atty. Chester Darling, his paralegal wife, Daphne Darling, and his associate, Atty. Michael Williams, who brought the suit because they believe that such discrimination based upon race is obviously unconstitutional. “The eight lawyers against Darling and his tiny staff were two apiece from the City of Lynn, the state Dept. of Education, the Atty. General's office, and the national office of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund.” The radical, liberal Judge Gertner, who is married to the chief counsel for the state’s ACLU chapter, seems to be able to get herself assigned to every case that the conservative lawyer has even though the cases are supposed to be assigned randomly. The court said yesterday that Lynn's school desegregation plan is unconstitutional because it uses race as a factor in deciding whether to allow students to transfer to schools outside their neighborhood, according to the Associated Press.
