Providing An Escape For Inner-City Children: Creating A Federal Remedy For Educational Ills Of Poor Urban Schools, Amy J. Schmitz
Providing An Escape For Inner-City Children: Creating A Federal Remedy For Educational Ills Of Poor Urban Schools, Amy J. Schmitz
Faculty Publications
Children in impoverished, urban areas attend dangerous and decrepit schools, where they receive low quality education which fails to prepare them for meaningful participation in the community. Many states, however, provide no legislative or judicial remedy for these children, who desperately need vocational and educational skills to enable them to escape from the deprivation of their urban landscape. Meanwhile, federal officials speak
Building Community Among Diversity: Legal Services For Impoverished Immigrants, Robert L. Bach
Building Community Among Diversity: Legal Services For Impoverished Immigrants, Robert L. Bach
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I of this Essay introduces the Immigrants' Legal Needs Study (ILNS), which provides most of the data for this Essay. Part II focuses on immigrants' access to legal assistance.

Part III addresses the present day demography of our urban communities, including the levels of new immigration. Parts IV and V detail the legal difficulties faced by poor immigrants, the ways they deal with these problems, and community responses to these needs. …
Social Welfare And Section 7 Of The Charter: Conrad V. Halifax (County Of), Teresa Scassa
Social Welfare And Section 7 Of The Charter: Conrad V. Halifax (County Of), Teresa Scassa
Dalhousie Law Journal
The recent case of Conrad v. Halifax (County of) arose as as. 7 Charter challenge to the County regarding the manner in which the plaintiff was treated as a recipient of municipal social assistance. The case raises a number of interesting issues at the intersection of the Charter and administrative law including the scope of the right to "security of the person"; the scope of the principles of fundamental justice; issues of access to justice and the Charter; and the relationship between the finding of a Charter right and the treatment of the plaintiff in the fact-finding process. This case …

Urban Revitalization And Community Finance: An Introduction, Peter R. Pitegoff
Urban Revitalization And Community Finance: An Introduction, Peter R. Pitegoff
Faculty Publications
"In his 1933 poem Burn the Cities, Nathanael West, the iconoclastic American novelist and urban radical, portrays the city as a focal point of discontent and of anguish for the world's predicament.2 From Jerusalem to Paris and finally to London, the poem winds through distressing urban imagery with scant opportunity for escape. The implicit modicum of hope is an overthrow of the present order. From older cities abroad, West imports an apocalyptic vision of cities at home."
Aspirations And Reality In The Law And Politics Of Health Care Reform: Examining A Symposium On (E)Qual(Ity) Care For The Poor, Ann C. Mcginley
Aspirations And Reality In The Law And Politics Of Health Care Reform: Examining A Symposium On (E)Qual(Ity) Care For The Poor, Ann C. Mcginley
Scholarly Works
Although the poor had suffered from insufficient health care for years, it was only when the middle class felt the economic pinch that health care reform moved to the top of the national agenda. In this way, the poor, a group with little political power, could benefit from the enormous political power of the middle class. In the Fall of 1992, it appeared that it was time for the poor to consider building a coalition with the middle class to work for universal coverage and improved quality of care. Yet, many questions remained about whether a coalition would benefit the …
Mandatory Non-Anonymous Testing Of Newborns For Hiv: Should It Ever Be Allowed?, Jean R. Sternlight
Mandatory Non-Anonymous Testing Of Newborns For Hiv: Should It Ever Be Allowed?, Jean R. Sternlight
Scholarly Works
In response to cries from both the public and the medical community for increased research and improved treatments with respect to pediatric AIDS, some state legislatures have attempted to enact legislation that would require routine mandatory testing of newborns for HIV on a non-anonymous basis.
Those who favor mandatory testing of newborns contend that such testing is necessary in order to protect the health of newborns and to ensure that the newborns' doctors provide them with adequate care. Moreover, testing advocates argue that because most hospitals already screen anonymously, failing to inform parents of the test results is inappropriate and …

A Choice For K'Aila: Child Protection And First Nations Children, Jocelyn Downie
A Choice For K'Aila: Child Protection And First Nations Children, Jocelyn Downie
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
K'aila's story raises serious questions about child protection and First Nations children. Was it appropriate that a non-First Nations social services agency made the initial assessment of whether K'aila was in need of protection, that a non-First Nations court had the power to decide whether K'aila was in need of protection, and that Francois and Leslie's decision was held to a non-First Nations standard of care? Was K'aila well-served by the child welfare system?
