Posner Well, that was a surprise. Few expected that the Supreme Court would uphold disparate-impact liability under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), but in Texas Department. of Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, it did so. The decision... 2017

VII, 471. $29.95 130 Harvard Law Review 1877 (May, 2017) Almost twenty years ago, I wrote in a piece with Professor Dan Kahan that one of the central features of modern criminal procedure was its unrelenting hostility toward institutionalized racism.

Rhett Larson, Brian Payne UNCLOUDING ARIZONA'S WATER FUTURE 49 Arizona State Law Journal 465 (Summer, 2017) A cloud hangs over the future of Arizona's water. The cloud has hung low and heavy for over forty years. The cloud is the ongoing adjudication of water rights in Arizona's courts, where the priority, amount, and use of virtually all non-Colorado River water in Arizona remain in dispute.

Claire Glenn UPHOLDING CIVIL RIGHTS IN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW: THE CASE FOR EX ANTE TITLE VI REGULATION AND ENFORCEMENT 41 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 45 (2017) In the twenty-first century, discrimination has become increasingly subliminal, unconscious, and structural. Yet the legal framework for addressing discrimination has ignored this shift, remaining focused on intentional discrimination and reliant on ex post enforcement. The old model is a poor fit for today's reality. Nowhere is this truth more... 2017  
Rhett B. Larson WATER SECURITY 112 Northwestern University Law Review 139 (2017) Climate change, as the dominant paradigm in natural resource policy, is obsolete and should be replaced by the water security paradigm.

Consequently, competition for water resources is likely to increase among the states and lead to more Supreme Court original jurisdiction cases over water disputes than ever before. While the Court holds... 2017  
Michael Lewyn ZONING AND LAND USE PLANNING 46 Real Estate Law Journal 447 (Winter 2017) Historically, municipal zoning codes have made housing more expensive by restricting housing supply, thus excluding low-income households from many neighborhoods.

Francesco Francioni FROM RIO TO PARIS: WHAT IS LEFT OF THE 1992 DECLARATION ON ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT? 11 Intercultural Human Rights Law Review 15 (2016) This paper has a dubitative title. And this is for a good reason. It is meant to introduce the critical perspective in which I propose to assess the legacy of the 1992 Rio Declaration after almost a quarter of a century from its adoption. This retrospective outlook, it is hoped, may help assess the progress, if any, that international law has made... 2016
