An Interpretive History Of Modern Equal Protection, Michael Klarman
An Interpretive History Of Modern Equal Protection, Michael Klarman
Michigan Law Review
My enterprise here is to write a limited history of modem equal protection - one that will facilitate understanding of the important conceptual shifts that have occurred over time. By "modem" I mean the period following the switch-in-time in 1937 that signaled the demise of the Lochner era. By "limited" I mean an account that falls substantially short of a full-scale history of equal protection, which would, for example, necessarily encompass a good deal of political and social history. My aim here, rather, is to tell a story about the evolution of equal protection as a legal concept; I shall, …

Judicial Enforcement Of The Right To An Equal Education In Illinois, Michael P. Seng, Michael Booden
Northern Illinois University Law Review
In Brown v. Board of Educ., the United States Supreme Court recognized that "education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments." However, despite this declaration of policy, the Court has not played an affirmative role in assuring that all children have equal education opportunity, regardless of economic or social status. The rest of the federal government has been equally uninterested in enforcing the policy so clearly enunciated in Brown. Unfortunately, Illinois government has done no more than its federal counterpart to ensure that its citizens have equal educational opportunities. This article analyzes federal and Illinois case …

Reformers' Regress: The 1991 Texas Workers' Compensation Act., Jill Williford
Reformers' Regress: The 1991 Texas Workers' Compensation Act., Jill Williford
St. Mary's Law Journal
The revision of the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act will affect most Texas taxpayers and workers. The Act, entering into force January 1, 1991, significantly restructures the preexisting seventy-six-year-old system. Before the advent of workers’ compensation systems employees relied on the court and common-law causes of action as the sole means of recovery. In 1913, Texas enacted one of the first versions of workers’ compensation in the United States. The original act created a system to compensate workers for injuries sustained during employment without regard to fault. Initially the act was elective for employers and mandatory for employees but was later …
