Michelle Adams KNOWING YOUR PLACE: THEORIZING SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT HOME 40 Arizona Law Review 17 (Spring 1998) The word home signifies a fundamental presumption in American culture: that an individual can preserve this one place--and no other--as private, secure, and inviolable. Sexual harassment in the home represents an invasion of this quintessentially private space. Sexual harassment at home raises different issues from sexual harassment at work, both... 1998
David G. Savage LAND OF OPPORTUNITY 84-OCT ABA Journal 34 (October, 1998) The Rehnquist Court over its 12 years has championed two causes with impressive consistency. The first is federalism, including the notion that elected city and state officials, not federal judges, should be entrusted with making the hard choices of government. When pressed, the Court has regularly deferred to decisions made by these officials and... 1998
Nicholas Blomley LANDSCAPES OF PROPERTY 32 Law and Society Review 567 (1998) If we want to explore the social dimensions of property, we need to think of it not only historically but also geographically, entailing both practices in and representations of social space. The concept of landscape is a useful bridging device here, given its double meaning as both a material space and as a particular way of seeing space.... 1998

Frank H. Wu NEW PARADIGMS OF CIVIL RIGHTS: A REVIEW ESSAY 66 George Washington Law Review 698 (March, 1998) Can we become one America? In another era, the question might have been rhetorical. In our age, it sounds more like a plea than an inquiry. In a commencement address delivered at the University of California at San Diego on June 14, 1997, President William Jefferson Clinton asked, [C]an we become one America in the 21st Century? In his remarks,... 1998
Terry W. Frazier PROTECTING ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY WITHIN THE BALANCING FUNCTION OF PROPERTY LAW 28 Environmental Law 53 (Spring 1998) Restraints on the uses of property due to environmental controls have greatly proliferated in the latter half of the twentieth century.

However, a backlash to environmental controls... 1998

Gaus PROTECTING GROUP HOMES FOR THE NON-HANDICAPPED: ZONING IN THE POST-EDMONDS ERA 46 University of Kansas Law Review 777 (May, 1998) Few land use issues have drawn more recent attention from both courts and legislatures than those concerning zoning and group homes.

Jane M. Gaines THE ABSURDITY OF PROPERTY IN THE PERSON 10 Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities 537 (Summer 1998) I had some reticence about doing a talk about legal culture because my work had moved so far away from it in recent years. In the process of rethinking a book that was published in 1991, however, I was surprised to discover some carry-over issues, as most scholars must find when they undertake this exercise. But my new area of interest seemed to be... 1998

Phyliss Craig-Taylor TO BE FREE: LIBERTY, CITIZENSHIP, PROPERTY, AND RACE 14 Harvard BlackLetter Law Journal 45 (Spring, 1998) Voltaire once described history as a pack of tricks that the present plays on the past. He failed to mention that the people of the past have their own dissembling pranks. The most troublesome for historians is the tendency to change without notice the meaning of words. Whole new concepts can take shape behind an unvarying set of terms. Nothing is... 1998
Maya Grosz TO HAVE AND TO HOLD: PROPERTY AND STATE REGULATION OF SEXUALITY AND MARRIAGE 24 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 235 (1998) In the 1967 decision Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court ended centuries of state prohibition of interracial sexual relationships. In Loving, the Court admitted that anti-miscegenation laws, which criminalized interracial sexual contacts and marriage, had contributed to the systemic subordination of people of color. In order to regulate marriage... 1998

It is a microcosm, however, of a larger dynamic that is the setting for this paper: the struggle between individual rights and community responsibility and the implications of that struggle for... 1998
Thomas G. Kelch TOWARD A NON-PROPERTY STATUS FOR ANIMALS 6 New York University Environmental Law Journal 531 (1998) In his thoughts, Herman spoke a eulogy for the mouse who had shared a portion of her life with him and who, because of him, had left this earth. What do they know--all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world--about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the... 1998
Jane L. Scarborough WHAT IF THE BUTCHERS IN THE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE CASES HAD WON?: AN EXERCISE IN "COUNTERFACTUAL" DOCTRINE 50 Maine Law Review 211 (1998) The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right. In thinking about my contribution to this conference with the rather daunting task of exploring Law, Feminism & the 21st Century, I found myself reflecting upon the state of the law, or more particularly, constitutional law. As we prepare to end one century and begin... 1998
Wes Daniels "DERELICTS," RECURRING MISFORTUNE, ECONOMIC HARD TIMES AND LIFESTYLE CHOICES: JUDICIAL IMAGES OF HOMELESS LITIGANTS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR LEGAL ADVOCATES 45 Buffalo Law Review 687 (Fall 1997) Introduction Whether portrayed as derelicts, as victims of misfortune, or as people burdened by structural forces beyond their control, the image of homeless people as reflected in most court opinions is one of weakness, helplessness and despair. Such portrayals may seem necessary to legal advocates and decision-makers who want to find a way to... 1997
Kevin L. Hopkins A GOSPEL OF LAW 30 John Marshall Law Review 1039 (Summer 1997) Derrick Bell is no stranger to civil rights activists, the Black community and the legal academy.
