TRENDS IN BLACK AND LATINO SEGREGATION IN THE POST-FAIR HOUSING ERA: IMPLICATIONS FOR HOUSING POLICY |
9 La Raza Law Journal 131 (1996) |

WHOSE ALIEN NATION?: TWO MODELS OF CONSTITUTIONAL IMMIGRATION LAW |
94 Michigan Law Review 1927 (May, 1996) |
Who is an American, and how do we choose new Americans? Immigration law and policy try to answer these questions, and so it is no wonder the immigration debate attracts so much public attention. After all, it represents our public attempt to define ourselves as a community, and to decide what we ask of those who want to join our ranks. The stream... |

In County of Dane v.

DE FACTO DEMOLITION: THE HIDDEN DETERIORATION OF PUBLIC HOUSING |
44 Catholic University Law Review 885 (Spring 1995) |
National perception of public housing is that of a failed system in disarray.

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data may be useful in attempting to determine a pattern of discrimination within a certain geographic area.

FROM WELFARE TO WORK IN NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC HOUSING |
22 Fordham Urban Law Journal 1197 (Summer 1995) |
Poverty in public housing and its attendant myths of social, academic and motivational inferiority, can only be conquered and disproved individually. The personal determination to excel and succeed, however, must be accompanied by social and educational opportunities to do so. For sixty years, the New York City Housing Authority (the Housing... |

HOUSING AND THE JUSTIFICATION OF SCHOOL SEGREGATION |
143 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 1397 (May, 1995) |
The intense attack on court-ordered busing rests largely on the public belief that the courts are artificially interfering with normal neighborhoods and communities.

As stated by the late scholar of Native American law, Felix S. Cohen, the fight for tribal sovereignty is of central importance to us all: Our interest in Indian self-government today is not the interest of sentimentalists or antiquarians.

The Supreme Court held in its 1962 decision Robinson v California that it was cruel and unusual under the Eighth Amendment to punish people for status crimes--that is, crimes defined by who people are, not what they do. In the decade following that decision, courts used the status crimes doctrine to invalidate statutes that made vagrancy illegal.... |
