40 Washington University Journal of Law & Policy 337 (2012) |
Escap[ing] public housing projects is a colloquial phrase describing the plight of people struggling to escape publicly subsidized housing projects and assistance programs.

THE RISE AND DECLINE OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POWERS |
34 Campbell Law Review 525 (Symposium 2012) |
Since its reopening to foreign trade in the late 1990s, China has been the poster child of intellectual property piracy and counterfeiting. Virtually every year, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) lists China on its watch list or priority watch list. The country's piracy and counterfeiting problems have also been frequently... |

UNITED STATES V. DURO: FARMWORKER HOUSING AND AGRICULTURAL LAW CONSTRUCTIONS |
9 Hastings Race and Poverty Law Journal 397 (Summer 2012) |
Since before the New Deal, the United States' food production system has relied on the labor of migrant agricultural workers.

From the money in our pockets and the goods and services that we use, to a more peaceful world-the WTO and the trading system offer a range of benefits . . . .

"HOT NEWS": THE ENDURING MYTH OF PROPERTY IN NEWS |
111 Columbia Law Review 419 (April, 2011) |
The hot news doctrine refers to a cause of action for the misappropriation of time-sensitive factual information that state laws afford purveyors of news against free riding by a direct competitor. Entirely the offshoot of the Supreme Court's decision in International News Service v. Associated Press, the doctrine enables an information gatherer... |

AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE TIME OF GLOBAL WARMING |
42/43 Urban Lawyer 179 (Fall, 2010/Winter, 2011) |
Remedying the absence of an adequate supply of affordable housing has been a target of comprehensive planning for nearly two generations. Despite a number of jurisdictions making that goal a mandatory component of local planning, attempts to achieve it have proven Pyrrhic. During the current period of economic recession and real estate distress,... |

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE: LAW, EMOTION AND THE SUBPRIME MORTGAGE CRISIS |

5 Southern Region Black Law Students Association Law Journal 38 (Spring, 2011) |
In recent years, the plight of the mentally ill has become a more pressing issue in American society.

COMMUNITY PROPERTY V. THE ELECTIVE SHARE |
72 Louisiana Law Review 161 (Fall, 2011) |
There is certainly no doubt that community property has its faults. But, as with any flawed thing, one must look at it in comparison with the alternatives: separate property and its companion, the elective share. This Article argues that the elective share is so flawed that it should be jettisoned in favor of community property. The elective share... |

FAIRNESS IN DISPARITY: CHALLENGING THE APPLICATION OF DISPARATE IMPACT THEORY IN FAIR HOUSING CLAIMS AGAINST INSURERS |
21 George Mason University Civil Rights Law Journal 159 (Spring 2011) |
Risk discrimination is not race discrimination . . ., but is a higher [premium] for fire insurance in an inner city neighborhood attributable to risks of arson or to racial animus? Similarly, given the marked disparity between the credit scores of minorities and whites, does a facially race-neutral practice like credit-based insurance scoring... |

FINDING HOME IN THE WORLD: A DEONTOLOGICAL THEORY OF THE RIGHT TO BE ADOPTED |
55 New York Law School Law Review 701 (2010/2011) |
The family is a political institution, and it is so in two complementary ways. First, the family is political in the sense that it is usually on families that the development of the individual's mature capacities for political engagement first hinge. But the family is also political because political choices--whether in the form of legislative or... |

GOVERNMENT PROPERTY AND GOVERNMENT SPEECH |
52 William and Mary Law Review 1413 (April, 2011) |
The relationship between property and speech is close, but complicated. Speakers use places and things to deliver their messages, and rely on property rights both to protect expressive acts and to serve as an independent means of expression. And yet courts and scholars have struggled to make sense of the property-speech connection. Is property... |

The transfer of people with disablities from state institutions to residential housing is one of the great migrations in recent history, but finding adequate housing is difficult. Laws that enact housing quotas make this task even harder. Quotas can require a minimum distance between group homes, limit the number of group homes that can be allowed... |

Recent research has found that the more racially segregated a metropolitan region is, the higher the number and rate of its foreclosures. Indeed, the high levels of racial residential segregation in the U.S. facilitated... |

90 Texas Law Review 423 (December, 2011) |
Property is oft considered the province of the antediluvian, far situated from modern concerns, particularly issues of race and diversity. Even more so than other areas of legal academia, Property remains the province of dead white men. Courses and casebooks continue to hark back to Blackstone, the epitome of the antiquated.
