MAKING ROOM IN THE PROPERTY CANON INTEGRATING SPACES: PROPERTY LAW AND RACE. BY ALFRED BROPHY, ALBERTO LOPEZ & KALI MURRAY. NEW YORK, NEW YORK: ASPEN PUBLISHERS, 2011. 368 PAGES. $40.00. |
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. The thread of old... |

42 University of Toledo Law Review 561 (Winter 2011) |
DOROTHY tapped her ruby red slippers together and proclaimed, There's no place like home. The phrase home is where the heart is, is the title of songs, movies, and books.

26 Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution 169 (2011) |
Mortal!-'twas thus she spoke-that blush of shame Proclaims thee Briton, once a noble name; First of the might, foremost of the free, Now honour'd less by all, and least by me; Chief of thy foes shall Pallas still be found. Seek'st thou the cause of loathing?-look around. Lo! Here, despite war and wasting fire, I saw successive tyrannies expire.... |

NEIGHBOR-ON-NEIGHBOR HARASSMENT: DOES THE FAIR HOUSING ACT MAKE A FEDERAL CASE OUT OF IT? |
61 Case Western Reserve Law Review 865 (Spring, 2011) |
This is a nice neighborhood--we don't want people like you here. Why don't you go back to the ghetto where you belong. Does the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) ban such statements to a minority family who has just moved into a predominantly white neighborhood? The FHA does contain an antiharassment provision (42 U.S.C. ยง 3617), and this... |

ORIGINAL ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY: FROM CONQUEST & POSSESSION TO DEMOCRACY & EQUAL OPPORTUNITY |
86 Indiana Law Journal 763 (Summer, 2011) |
I have been thinking, said Arthur, about Might and Right. I don't think things ought to be done because you are able to do them. I think they should be done because you ought to do them. After all, a penny is a penny in any case, however much Might is exerted on either side, to prove that it is or is not. Is that plain? ~ T.H. White Where do... |

PROPERTY AND PRECAUTION |
4 Journal of Tort Law 1 (October, 2011) |
Property in land suffers from an unacknowledged precautionary deficit. Ownership is dispensed in standardized blocks of monopoly control that are routinely retained in their entirety until someone raises an issue regarding an actual or potential incompatible land use. This arrangement, which encourages owners to take sustained, unpriced draws... |

PROPERTY'S MORALE |
110 Michigan Law Review 437 (December, 2011) |
A foundational argument long invoked to justify stable property rights is that property law must protect settled expectations. Respect for expectations unites otherwise disparate strands of property theory focused on ex ante incentives, individual identity, and community. It also privileges resistance to legal transitions that transgress reliance... |

I was a student in Carol Rose's property course twelve years ago, and she was the first law professor whose scholarship I sought out and read. Going into my 1L spring semester, if I had to guess how I would spend my precious free time, I would not have imagined myself poring over Crystals and Mud in Property Law and The Comedy of the Commons. I had... |

THE DISTINCTIVENESS OF PROPERTY AND HERITAGE |
115 Penn State Law Review 641 (Winter 2011) |
This piece takes up the competing concepts of property and heritage. Recent scholarship views property as a series of connections and obligations--rather than the traditional power to control, transfer or exclude. This new view of property may be safeguarding resources for future generations, but also imposes onerous obligations based on concerns... |

A spree of rapes and murders took place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 2003. The DNA gathered at the respective murder scenes linked at least five of the women's murders.

THE LAST PLANK: RETHINKING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE POWER TO ADVANCE FAIR HOUSING |
13 University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law 1191 (June, 2011) |
The persistence of housing discrimination more than forty years after the passage of the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) of 1968 is among the most intractable civil rights puzzle. For the most part, this puzzle is not doctrinal: the Supreme Court has interpreted the FHA only a handful of times over the last two decades--a marked contrast to frequent... |

THE PROPERTIES OF INSTABILITY: MARKETS, PREDATION, RACIALIZED GEOGRAPHY, AND PROPERTY LAW |
2011 Wisconsin Law Review 855 (2011) |
A central, symbolic image supporting property ownership is the image of stability. This symbol motivates most because it allows for settled expectations, promotes investment, and fulfills a psychological need for predictability. Despite the symbolic image, property is home to principles that promote instability, albeit a stable instability. This... |

THE PURSUIT OF INTEGRATED LIVING: THE FAIR HOUSING ACT AS A SWORD FOR MENTALLY DISABLED ADULTS RESIDING IN GROUP HOMES |
45 Columbia Journal of Law and Social Problems 177 (Winter, 2011) |
Today, many state-licensed group homes for mentally disabled adults have come to resemble their predecessor psychiatric institutions in that they segregate residents from the community at large.

THE REINVENTION OF OWNERSHIP: THE EMBRACE OF RESIDENTIAL ZONING AND THE MODERN POPULIST READING OF PROPERTY |

This Article portrays the adoption of zoning laws as a turning point in U.S. legal history where a new meaning was ascribed to the institution of ownership.
