DON'T GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR: CONFLICTED IMMIGRANT STORIES AND WELFARE REFORM |
33 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 159 (Winter, 1998) |
Modern media-driven politics are frequently an ad hoc mixture of stories and statistics. Although particular accounts of people's lives and choices often provide politicians with flesh-and-blood drama, image-centered politics frequently tend to rely upon inaccurate stereotypes. Anecdotal evidence is almost always small enough to be intrinsically... |

64 Brooklyn Law Review 231 (Spring 1998) |
The dust of the 1996 Presidential campaign had barely settled before Bill Clinton and Governor George Bush took aim at each other. In the spring of 1997, the Clinton Administration formally rejected Governor Bush's proposal to privatize elements of Texas' welfare, Medicaid, and Food Stamp programs.

IMMANENCE AND IDENTITY: UNDERSTANDING POVERTY THROUGH LAW AND SOCIETY RESEARCH |
32 Law and Society Review 931 (1998) |
Welfare policy has occupied a position in public political discourse since the 1960s as in few other periods of American history. The 1996 federal welfare reform legislation that swept away Aid to Families with Dependent Children in favor of state-controlled programs supported by federal block-grant funding emerged from a momentous, long-running... |

INCOMMENSURABILITY, WELFARE ECONOMICS, AND THE LAW |

In the philosophical literature on values and practical reason, a debate has arisen over the thesis that certain goods or values are incommensurable. This raises an obvious question for legal scholars: Would this thesis, if true, have implications for the law? Several authors have claimed that it would, by challenging various economic... |

The legal landscape confronting public interest lawyers for the poor in 1999 is quite different from the landscape of 1969.
