What Do We Mean By An Independent Judiciary, Michael P. Seng
What Do We Mean By An Independent Judiciary, Michael P. Seng
Michael P. Seng
Judicial independence has roots in separation of powers and in ethical standards that require judges to be competent and impartial. Judicial independence depends upon society having faith in the integrity of the courts. Accountability is thus the handmaid of an independent judiciary. This article defines both the structure and the ethical standards that insure an independent judiciary.
California's Anti-Discrimination Legislation, Proposition 14, And The Constitutional Protection Of Minority Rights: The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The California Fair Employment And Housing Act, David B. Oppenheimer
California's Anti-Discrimination Legislation, Proposition 14, And The Constitutional Protection Of Minority Rights: The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The California Fair Employment And Housing Act, David B. Oppenheimer
Golden Gate University Law Review
Fifty years ago, in 1959, the State of California outlawed racial discrimination in employment. But it took the California Legislature four more years to prohibit racial discrimination in private housing, and the immediate response was a successful campaign by the real-estate industry to repeal the law through a voter initiative. This essay tells the story of that campaign and the courageous judicial decisions that nullified the initiative.
Justifying Discrimination: How The Ninth Circuit Circumvented The Intent Of The Fair Housing Act, Katherine Brinson
Justifying Discrimination: How The Ninth Circuit Circumvented The Intent Of The Fair Housing Act, Katherine Brinson
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Note argues that the test applied by the Ninth Circuit in Community House was unreasonably inflexible and inconsistent with the goals of the Fair Housing Act, and that, by allowing for only limited, inflexible exceptions, the court foreclosed an opportunity to expand free or affordable housing for homeless women, men, and families. By contrast, a more flexible approach that weighs the adverse impact on the alleged victim against the benefits of the offered justifications, would better serve the purposes of the Fair Housing Act by allowing each community to maximize the housing opportunities it offers.

Armed And Dangerous: The Crime Of Mortgage Fraud And What Congress Must Do To Stop It, Gabriel Zitrin
Legislation and Policy Brief
Instead, it will simply argue that while the relevant monetary policymakers continue far too slowly in the pursuit of mortgage securities reform, lawmakers whose purview includes the housing sector should use this opportunity to pursue a two-part strategy of aggressively combating fraud in the terms and sales of individual mortgages and taking bold measures to ensure that not simply embattled mortgage-holders but the victims of fraudulent lending behavior can achieve financial sustainability, even as they keep ownership of their homes.

Residence Restrictions On Custodial Parents: Sex-Based Discrimination?, Alix Gravenstein Pastis
Residence Restrictions On Custodial Parents: Sex-Based Discrimination?, Alix Gravenstein Pastis
Golden Gate University Law Review
Residence restrictions are frequently imposed on the custodial, but not the noncustodial, parent. These restrictions come into play when the custodial parent wishes to move with the child, the noncustodial parent opposes the move, and a court is called upon to resolve the dispute. The court will do so based upon a determination of what it judges to be in the best interests of the child. The best interests inquiry ultimately resolves itself into a question of whether the custodial parent's reasons for making the move are sufficiently substantial to outweigh the noncustodial parent's interest in existing visitation privileges. A …
Fisher V. City Of Berkeley: Applying Due Process And Preemption To Rent Control Ordinances, Scott T. Dunning
Fisher V. City Of Berkeley: Applying Due Process And Preemption To Rent Control Ordinances, Scott T. Dunning
Golden Gate University Law Review
In Fisher v. City of Berkeley, the California Supreme Court addressed the validity of Berkeley's latest rent control ordinance. With the exception of a retaliatory eviction provision, the court upheld the ordinance against all challenges. These challenges included alleged due process violations, and claims that certain provisions in the ordinance were preempted by state law. The Fisher court discussed five relevant issues: 1) the facial validity of the ordinance's rate of return standard; 2) the facial validity of the ordinance's rate adjustment procedures; 3) whether the ordinance constitutes an unreasonable restraint on the alienation of property; 4) the validity of …

Citizen Police: Using The Qui Tam Provision Of The False Claims Act To Promote Racial And Economic Integration In Housing, Jan P. Mensz
Citizen Police: Using The Qui Tam Provision Of The False Claims Act To Promote Racial And Economic Integration In Housing, Jan P. Mensz
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Economic and racial integration in housing remains elusive more than forty years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act. Recalcitrant municipal governments and exclusionary zoning ordinances have played a large role in maintaining and exacerbating segregated housing patterns. After discussing some of the persistent causes of segregated housing patterns, this Note presents a novel approach to enforcing the Fair Housing Act and the "affirmatively furthering fair housing" requirement on recipients of federal housing grants. This Note presents a citizen suit that emerged from the Southern District of New York in Anti-Discrimination Center v. Westchester County, where a private …
Discretionary Pricing, Mortgage Discrimination, And The Fair Housing Act, Robert G. Schwemm, Jeffrey L. Taren
Discretionary Pricing, Mortgage Discrimination, And The Fair Housing Act, Robert G. Schwemm, Jeffrey L. Taren
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
For generations, mortgage lending has always been the gateway to the American dream of homeownership, and, historically, has also been characterized by widespread discrimination against racial and ethnic minorities and their communities. Mortgage discrimination in the modem era has often been accomplished through a technique known as discretionary pricing, in which lenders allow their loan officers and brokers to increase borrowers' costs from an objectively determined base rate. In the past decade alone, discretionary pricing has cost minority homeowners billions of dollars in extra payments, which, in tum, has led these minorities to suffer higher foreclosure rates than whites and …

This article will discuss private transfer fee covenants, using one popular model as an example. After explaining how a private transfer fee covenant operates, the article will review the background legal principles relevant to its enforceability As this article will argue, sound policy does not justify the enforcement of private transfer fee covenants. The article concludes with a discussion of recent state legislative efforts to invalidate private transfer fee covenants and highlights a new model statute that, if adopted, would declare such covenants void as contrary to public policy.

Above All Else Stop Digging: Local Government Law As A (Partial) Cause Of (And Solution To) The Current Housing Crisis, Darien Shanske
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
So many things have gone wrong with our housing market that it is hard to know where to start. One simple diagnosis is that we invested too much in houses that were not worth as much as we thought. Looked at in this way, it is relatively easy to see how innovations like interest-only loans contributed to an over-valuation of housing. Certain actions of the federal government were and are also clearly problematic, such as the longstanding tax breaks for home ownership.
This Article looks at state and local government law, and particularly at financing mechanisms created by state law …

Making Debtor Remedies More Effective, Melissa B. Jacoby
Making Debtor Remedies More Effective, Melissa B. Jacoby
Melissa B. Jacoby
Commissioned for a conference on credit markets at Harvard Business School in February 2010, this paper explores functional system design and the role of lawyers and intermediaries in providing debtor remedies in a complex legal system. The thesis of this paper, which proceeds in the “law and society” tradition, is that the location of a remedial right within the debtor-creditor system substantially affects the costs and benefits of the remedy for debtors, creditors, the system, and society. In other words, merely adding specific substantive provisions does not directly translate into actual protection. Relatedly, policymakers must recognize that lawyers and other …
