FREE EXERCISE, FAIR HOUSING AND MARITAL STATUS -- ALASKAN STYLE |
12 Alaska Law Review 335 (December 1, 1995) |
This Note examines the Alaska Supreme Court's decision in Swanner v.

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. A central premise in the early Supreme Court decisions was, however, that the courts were attempting to correct violations with deep roots in both school and housing discrimination.... |

HUD SHUTS THE DOOR: RESTRICTIONS ON HOUSING ASSISTANCE TO NONCITIZENS |
9 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 801 (Fall, 1995) |
Americans are increasingly frustrated with immigrants, particularly illegal immigrants. This frustration has revealed itself most dramatically in California where voters approved Proposition 187, a law which would ban many types of government benefits, including children's education, to those who are in this country illegally. Law-makers in states... |

INVESTIGATING CLAIMS OF DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING FINANCE |
28 John Marshall Law Review 371 (Winter 1995) |
For decades, allegations have been made that the mortgage lending industry discriminates against minorities, women, and other protected groups. In the past, public and private efforts to enforce mortgage lending discrimination laws have been minimal. Now, however, private litigation against mortgage lenders is on the rise, and federal, state, and... |

LAW SCHOOL INITIATIVES IN HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT |

The beauty of Benedict House - the ornate wooden trim, the elegant dining room, the stained glass windows - tempers the harsh reality for its residents. Fifty of our residents have died, explained a staff member, suggesting an ironic benchmark of progress in this home for people with advanced cases of AIDS and nowhere else to live. So began a... |

Looting. This word conjures up memories of the televised images of the sack of Los Angeles in April, 1992, after the first verdicts of acquittal in the Rodney King case. The temporal association of this most notorious of all recent looting incidents, with the patent injustice of the verdicts, and the immediate claims from some quarters that the... |

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. We have a vital concern with Indian self-government because the Indian is to America what the Jew was to the... |

Housing discrimination and segregation permeate American society.

NO WAY OUT: EIGHTH AMENDMENT PROTECTION FOR DO-OR-DIE ACTS OF THE HOMELESS |
62 University of Chicago Law Review 1619 (Fall 1995) |
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.... |

PITFALLS OF HOUSING REDISTRIBUTION |
143 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 1379 (May, 1995) |
Advocates of metropolitan-wide income and racial egalitarianism have been taking some hits lately. For once, the political juggernaut to reduce income and racial differences across community lines is running into detours instead of creating them. For example, late last summer a joint Senate and House Conference Committee overseeing spending by the... |

History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure. At a public housing project in Chicago, several gang members carrying guns step outside an apartment building and open fire on a car as it passes by.

In 1980, one of the leading authorities on housing law noted that the Supreme Court had been especially active in the 1970's in addressing standing problems in cases with allegations of housing discrimination; indeed, he wrote that standing problems in fair housing cases seem to have grown out of all proportion to their proper place in this... |
