Who were the prosecuters, defence, and judge in the case of Brown v. Board of Education?

Since it was a civil trail and not a criminal trial, they were the plaintiff and defendant.

The plaintiffs were thirteen Topeka parents on behalf of their twenty children. The named plaintiff, Oliver L. Brown was a parent, a welder in the shops of the Santa Fe Railroad, an assistant pastor at his local church, and an African American.

The defendant was the Board of Education of the City of Topeka, Kansas

The suit ended up in the supreme court headed by chief justice Earl Warren.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_v_boa... for more information.

I know that Thurgood Marshal, who would become the first African American Supreme Court Justice, was one of those representing Brown.
