Effective Representation And Multimember Districts, Michigan Law Review
Effective Representation And Multimember Districts, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The Supreme Court has not decided a case involving an assertion of the claim that a multimember district denies the right of effective representation since Fortson and Burns.

My speech will provide an introduction to criminal code legislation specifically pertaining to riots and a brief description of our recent experience with riots.
