THE RISE AND FALL OF UNCONSCIONABILITY AS THE "LAW OF THE POOR" |
102 Georgetown Law Journal 1383 (June, 2014) |
What happened to unconscionability? Here's one version of the story: The doctrine of unconscionability experienced a brief resurgence in the mid-1960s at the hands of naive, left-liberal, activist judges, who used it to rewrite private consumer contracts according to their own sense of justice. These folks meant well, no doubt, much like... |

THE TAX WAR ON POVERTY |
56 Arizona Law Review 791 (Fall, 2014) |
In recent years, the war on poverty has moved in large part into the tax code. Scholarship has started to note that the tax laws, which once exacerbated the problem of poverty, have become increasingly powerful tools that the federal government uses to fight against it.

TWO AMERICAS IN HEALTHCARE: FEDERALISM AND WARS OVER POVERTY FROM THE NEW DEAL-GREAT SOCIETY TO OBAMACARE |

The Supreme Court's decision sustaining the Affordable Care Act has inspired commentary applauding the Court for preserving the social safety net instituted and expanded during the New Deal and the Great Society.
