Welfare Servitude, Julie Nice

Julie A. Nice

In Welfare Servitude, Professor Nice considers whether mandating work as a condition for receiving welfare violates the Thirteenth Amendment’s prohibition of involuntary servitude and also explores the recurring intersection between race and class. She first describes the redoubling of efforts to increase enforcement of welfare work requirements once racial minorities were no longer excluded from receiving welfare benefits. Next she analyzes judicial decisions construing what constitutes involuntary servitude, including historic cases addressing indentured servitude, the padrone system, peonage, and the surety system, as well as modern cases challenging various welfare work requirements. Professor Nice distills three doctrinal types of involuntary …

Due Process Limits On Sentencing Power: A Critique Of Pennsylvania's Imposition Of A Recidivist Mandatory Sentence Without A Prior Conviction, Leonard N. Sosnov

Leonard N Sosnov

Pennsylvania has an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program which provides for pretrial diversion for accepted defendants. In exchange for avoiding the risk of conviction, the defendant agrees to supervision or treatment for a specified period of time. Successful completion can lead to dismissal of the charges, while a violation may result in reinstatement of the charges and a criminal trial.

Pennsylvania, like most states, also has recidivist sentencing provisions for repeat offenders. It has chosen to include a prior ARD acceptance in its definition of a prior conviction for purposes of its mandatory sentence recidivist drunk driving laws. The article …

The Right To Equal Education: Merely A Guiding Principle Or Customary International Legal Right?, Connie De La Vega

Connie de la Vega

In San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 1 (1973), the United States Supreme Court held that wealth discrimination was not illegal discrimination and that the right to be educated was not a fundamental constitutional right. This article contends that international human rights law provides broad authority for a right to equal opportunity to education and is a useful tool for those seeking to develop theories that that right exists under either the state or federal constitutions. This article provides a brief introduction to those cases in which courts have been asked to look at international human rights …

Protecting Economic, Social And Cultural Rights, Connie De La Vega

Connie de la Vega

This article reviews the international human rights standards relevant to protecting and promoting economic, social, and cultural rights in the United States, focusing particularly on those norms that would assist advocates of welfare and education rights. It discusses three ways in which these norms can be used in litigation before federal and state courts in the United States and argues that, in order to make more effective use of these standards, parties should raise the standards themselves, and not rely solely on amici curiae briefs or on courts' raising the standards sua sponte. This article also asserts that civil rights …
