SHEFF V. O'NEILL: THE CONSEQUENCE OF EDUCATIONAL TABLE-SCRAPS FOR POOR URBAN MINORITY SCHOOLS |
27 Fordham Urban Law Journal 1903 (August, 2000) |
It never ceases to amaze me that the courts are so willing to assume that anything that is predominantly black must be inferior. During the 1998-1999 school year, 95.6% of students in the public schools in Hartford, Connecticut were minorities. Compared to statistics from 1967, racial segregation in Hartford public schools has increased. The racial... |

SHOULD 1 + 1 = 2? DOES THE STRUCTURE OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXPENDITURES FOR HIGHER EDUCATION DISADVANTAGE WOMEN AND LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS? |

Women, especially single mothers, have lower incomes and need higher education more to achieve income levels comparable to men's.

STATUTORY RAPE LAW AND ENFORCEMENT IN THE WAKE OF WELFARE REFORM |
52 Stanford Law Review 463 (January, 2000) |
The recent national efforts at reforming the welfare system and new research on the connection between teen pregnancy and statutory rape have led many states to enact stricter laws against statutory rape and to increase the enforcement of existing laws. Punitive statutory rape laws are being viewed more and more as a mechanism for shrinking the... |

THE DIMENSIONS OF MICROENTERPRISE: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MICROENTERPRISE AS A TOOL TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY |
9-WTR Journal of Affordable Housing & Community Development Law 161 (Winter, 2000) |
Can poverty be eliminated by making business loans to people living in poverty? Providing loans to small businesses is not a new idea. What is new, however, is the concept of alleviating poverty with small amounts of credit, thereby enabling poor persons to engage in very small businesses. Microenterprise programs provide small loans, training,... |

In this Article, Professor Diller examines the tremendous changes in the administrative structure of the welfare system that have occurred since 1996.

The history of Anglo-American poor relief is a tale of a struggle between competing beliefs. On the one hand, poor laws are enacted to provide relief to the poor, a safety net, some level of basic subsistence. On the other hand, the desire for generous grants has always been tempered by a fear that this relief will encourage the poor to continue in... |

If we are to fashion remedies for black poverty, we need to understand the origins and dynamics of inequality in the African-American community.

UNREPRESENTED litigants are flooding the courts. In the poor people's courts, civil cases involving at least one unrepresented litigant are far more common than cases in which both sides are represented by counsel. This phenomenon is hardly surprising, given widespread reports that over eighty percent of the legal needs of the poor and working... |
