Definition

De jure school segregation refers to the segregation of students in schools that is mandated by law or official policy. This type of segregation was prevalent in the United States during the period of legalized segregation known as the Jim Crow era, when laws were implemented to separate white and black students in schools. De jure school segregation was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
