The Texas Homestead: The Last Bulwark Of Liberty Forum., Henry B. Gonzalez

St. Mary's Law Journal

For more than 155 years Texans have adamantly supported the principle that the fundamental need for shelter justifies strict constitutional protection of homes from creditors in all but a few situations. This Article discusses where homestead protection came from and why it should not be lightly discarded. The Texas Constitution contains many rights and liberties for the protection and benefit of the state’s citizens. Unique among these treasured liberties is the protection of a person’s homestead from forced sale or foreclosure by creditors. A group of bankers and other financiers—for whom a homestead is nothing more than collateral and a …

Children's Task Force Reports, Donald N. Duquette, Cd Stephens

Articles

When the public thinks of children and the law, high-visibility cases like Baby Jessica and Baby Richard come to mind. The human drama of a small child caught up in a titanic custody struggle attracts unrelenting media attention and triggers cries for law reform. Yet for every Baby Jessica and Baby Richard, thousands of children pass through our courts with little public attention but with consequences to them just as momentous and life altering as those cases featured on the national news shows. In 1991 State Bar of Michigan leadership began to ask whether our profession and Michigan's courts are …

Water organizations in the western United States range from small, traditional acequia associations to large metropolitan water suppliers.

Enforcing Corrections-Related Court Orders In The District Of Columbia, Jonathan M. Smith

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

In 1909, a presidential commission made the following comment about the conditions that prevailed in the District of Columbia's jail: That men and women should be sent to these narrow and confined cells, the lazy to be fostered in laziness, the industrious to be deprived of every form of employment, in one promiscuous assembly, to corrupt and be corrupted by each other, to be fed like beasts and maintained at the public charge, with no prospect for improvement in condition, with the moral certainty that they will come out far worse than they went in, is a fact that has …

The District Of Columbia Medical Consent Law: Moving Towards Legal Recognition Of Kinship Caregiving, Randi S. Mandelbaum, Susan L. Waysdorf

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

In 1990, in the District of Columbia, over 27,000 children under the age of eighteen, or 23.4% of all children, were living in the care of an adult other than their parent or a foster parent.3 This was a thirty percent increase from the 1980 data for the District of Columbia.4 Nationally, over the past decade, these figures increased sixteen percent.0 Today, for adult relatives, primarily grandmothers, aunts, and close family friends, who step in to raise the children of their relatives or friends, private kinship caregiving is both a legacy and a matter of survival for the next generation.'

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."
