Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The six sections of this Article present the case for direct federal court involvement in aiding foster children who are at risk of abuse and neglect while in foster care. Section I discusses the extent of abuse and neglect in foster care as well as the structural causes of this maltreatment. It also explains the inevitable failure of the political branches of government to confront the problem.

Is Disparity A Problem?, Michael Wells
Is Disparity A Problem?, Michael Wells
Scholarly Works
Part I describes aspects of the historical and doctrinal background of judicial federalism.

The Ninth Amendment And The Unwritten Constitution: The Problems Of Constitutional Interpretation, Andrzej Rapaczynski
Faculty Scholarship
This article is about two things; one general, the other specific. The general point is about the nature of interpretation and of the constraints that the text places on interpretation. The specific is about the ninth amendment.
