APPLICATION OF THE EQUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITY ACT TO HOUSING LEASES |
67 University of Chicago Law Review 865 (Summer, 2000) |
Landlords often deny a prospective tenant's lease application based on deficiencies in the tenant's credit report.

CHOOSING THE CHOSEN: THE VALIDITY OF RACIAL RESTRICTIONS ON THE ALIENATION OF PROPERTY IN ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES |
73 Southern California Law Review 437 (January, 2000) |

These two conceptions of the state are not opposites, nor are they synonyms. Instead, they relate... |

65 Missouri Law Review 655 (Summer 2000) |
The traditional model of the judge as detached adjudicator, sitting high atop a distant bench, has been blurred in the years since Brown v. Board of Education.
