Definition

Court ordered segregation is a legal requirement imposed by a court that mandates the separation of individuals or groups based on certain characteristics, such as race, gender, or religion. Court-ordered segregation has been used historically to enforce discriminatory practices and deny equal rights to marginalized communities, most notably during the Jim Crow era in the United States. Today, court-ordered segregation is unconstitutional and violates civil rights protections.
