Poverty Law 101: The Law And History Of The U.S. Welfare State, Karen M. Tani

Karen M. Tani

Tani discusses Professor Wax’s characterization of the “old welfare law framework,” as well as her account of what happened to it, and would not advocate a return to a court-centered, advocacy-oriented approach.
