Defending The Low-Income Tenant In North Carolina, Dale A. Whitman Jan 1970

Defending The Low-Income Tenant In North Carolina, Dale A. Whitman

Faculty Publications

The low-income tenant is in a uniquely precarious position under the law. He typically holds under an oral lease, often on an implied periodic tenancy from week to week. Even where a written lease is executed, it is almost invariably on a form prepared by the landlord. The tenant has little bargaining power in today's urban housing markets; moreover, he is usually not represented by counsel and is unable to intelligently exert whatever bargaining power he may possess. The land- lord is generally a professional in the renting business, and knows well how to manipulate the legal rules for his …

The Regulation And Administration Of The Welfare Hearing Process – The Need For Administrative Responsibility, Robert E. Scott Jan 1969

The Regulation And Administration Of The Welfare Hearing Process – The Need For Administrative Responsibility, Robert E. Scott

Faculty Scholarship

In recent years, the concept of public welfare has undergone substantial conceptual changes, the primary being a shift from the older concept of gratuity to one of statutory entitlement pursuant to the Social Security Act. This paper seeks to examine and analyze the administrative "fair hearing" as a means of effective regulation of administrative discretion and enforcement of the entitlement provisions of the federal act. Primary emphasis is placed on a comparative treatment of state hearing procedures and federal hearing regulations to determine whether the fair hearing is, at present, a viable means of insuring due process in welfare administration.


Competition In Legal Services Under The War On Poverty, Eric Wright Feb 1967

Competition In Legal Services Under The War On Poverty, Eric Wright

Faculty Publications

The creation of the legal services programs of the war on poverty has focused attention on the deficiencies in the legal treatment of the poor. Despite general agreement that the poor need legal services, however, there has been a continuous debate over the control of the legal programs and the proper role of the poor in administering them. Behind the dispute over control is a difference of opinion about the goals of the legal services programs. Because these programs were established to help fulfill the policy of the Economic Opportunity Act of I964 "to eliminate the paradox of poverty in …
