Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District

Dover, Pennsylvania Intelligent Design Case

[Last update: September 28, 2006]

This set of resources is this site's archive for the Kitzmiller, et al. v. Dover Area School District federal court case sometimes called "Scopes II" or the "Dover Panda Trial" by the media. At stake was a pro-intelligent design school board policy and the book Of Pandas and People that first introduced the term "intelligent design" as meaning a specific field of inquiry rather than incidental use as a descriptive term.

On December 20, 2005, the court ruled for the plaintiffs, against the school board, and against intelligent design. The victory was not just legal: the pro-intelligent design school board was replaced by the voters on November 8, 2005.

Trial documents



This Archive also has an article, The Discovery Institute Quote Mines Judge Jones, that discusses some misleading creationist quoting of the judge in this case. It is part of a larger effort to debunk the evolution quotes used by evolution deniers of all sorts.
