F.H. Buckley , Margaret F. Brinig WELFARE MAGNETS: THE RACE FOR THE TOP 5 Supreme Court Economic Review 141 (1997) Strong arguments may be made for the devolution of welfare responsibilities to the states.

LAWYERS AS FACILITATORS IN IN CIVIL RIGHTS AND POVERTY PRACTICE 1996 Wisconsin Law Review 1121 (1996) (M)ost public interest law work is adversarial, and as compared with most other legal work, disproportionately litigious.

The theory of the donor works not only at the level of individuals and societies but also for civilizations.

That, after all, is the central... 1996 Yes

  DEVOLVING WELFARE PROGRAMS TO THE STATES: A PUBLIC CHOICE PERSPECTIVE 109 Harvard Law Review 1984 (June, 1996) From the fall of 1995 through the winter of 1996, President Clinton and the Republican-dominated Congress battled over how to reduce spending to balance the federal budget.

Brenna Binns FENCING OUT THE POOR: THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS IN WELFARE REFORM 1996 Wisconsin Law Review 1255 (1996) Work without hope, said Coleridge, draws nectar in a sieve, and without an object cannot live.

Kay P. Kindred GOD BLESS THE CHILD: POOR CHILDREN, PARENS PATRIAE, AND A STATE OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE 57 Ohio State Law Journal 519 (1996) The face of poverty has changed considerably in this country over the past twenty-five years. In the early 1970s the aged comprised the largest group of poor people, but in the 1990s, children have displaced the elderly as the poorest group. One in five children in this country--14.6 million--is poor. In 1992 more than one out of every five... 1996 Yes

James W. Fox, Jr. LIBERALISM, DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP, AND WELFARE REFORM: THE TROUBLING CASE OF WORKFARE 74 Washington University Law Quarterly 103 (1996) The banner of welfare reform has flown over both conservative and liberal camps in recent years.

Randi Mandelbaum NOBLE JUSTICE, IGNOBLY APPLIED: A REVIEW OF NEIL GILBERT'S WELFARE JUSTICE: RESTORING SOCIAL EQUITY 7 Hastings Women's Law Journal 345 (Summer, 1996) After first reading Professor Gilbert's Welfare Justice: Restoring Social Equity, I was tempted to begin this review by stating that this book is misnamed.

However, on a second and third reading, it became clearer to me that Professor Gilbert has some... 1996 Yes
Larry Cata Backer POOR RELIEF WELFARE PARALYSIS, AND ASSIMILATION 1996 Utah Law Review 1 (1996) The American public is fed up with welfare. . . . So the lifeblood of sustaining the system is that every five years, welfare advocates come forward with a sham reform that preserves the system while pretending to change it.

Barlow REFRAMING THE WELFARE DEBATE: ADVOCATING FOR THE POOR IN THE 1990S 7 Hastings Women's Law Journal 205 (Summer, 1996) For those of us who still care about the desperately real problems of poverty in this country, these are grim and even potentially disorienting times. Congress and the White House have in recent months begun a full-scale revamping of the basic framework of welfare programs for the poor.
