Alexander Forrester's Chancery Reports, William Hamilton Bryson

Law Faculty Publications

This is a new edition of Alexander Forrester's Chancery reports. It is based upon the best manuscript copy that has survived, Lincoln's Inn MSS. Misc. 52 and Misc. 54, and the first printed edition.

Ending Jim Crow Life Insurance Rates, Mary L. Heen Jan 2009

Ending Jim Crow Life Insurance Rates, Mary L. Heen

Law Faculty Publications

This Article tells the story of the rise and fall of explicit race-based pricing practices as American life insurance companies responded to changes in the social, economic, and legal status of former slaves.
