Race Audits, Robin A. Lenhardt Jan 2010

Race Audits, Robin A. Lenhardt

Faculty Scholarship

The U.S. Supreme Court’s race jurisprudence suffers from a stunning lack of imagination where possibilities for meaningful local government involvement in combating structural racial inequality are concerned. Cases such as Parents. and Ricci limit dramatically the freedom that localities have to address racial inequity within their borders. Instead of constraints on local efforts in the race context, Professor Lenhardt argues that what we need, if persistent racial inequalities are ever to be eliminated, is greater innovation and experimentation. In this article, Professor Lenhardt thus introduces an extra-judicial tool called the race audit, which would permit individual cities or a regional …


Climate Change, Consumption, And Cities, Alice Kaswan Jan 2009

Climate Change, Consumption, And Cities, Alice Kaswan

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Part I of this Article highlights the nation’s high level of energy consumption and argues that policies directed solely at tailpipes and smokestacks will fail to reach climate change goals. Part II of this Article observes that recently proposed federal legislation does not sufficiently address consumption. Part III argues that direct local land use and green building measures can and should play a critical role in reducing demand. Part IV recognizes that, notwithstanding the institutional and practical arguments in favor of local initiatives, significant barriers could slow their adoption and implementation. Part V argues that federal legislation could overcome obstacles …

Our Bandit Future? Cities, Shantytowns, And Climate Change Governance, Colin Crawford Jan 2009

Our Bandit Future? Cities, Shantytowns, And Climate Change Governance, Colin Crawford

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article seeks to begin to define a role for cities and their inhabitants in climate change governance. Part I argues that if there is a failure to take into account global urbanization and its defining characteristics, namely extreme squalor and associated social ills, as a central feature of climate change policy, we face a future where cities will experience sustained and perhaps intractable urban violence and social disintegration, a development that can only hasten the separate but related harms caused by climate change on the world’s human and biological populations. Part II explores some of the consequences of the …


Public Interest Litigation: Insights From Theory And Practice, Scott L. Cummings, Deborah L. Rhode Jan 2009

Public Interest Litigation: Insights From Theory And Practice, Scott L. Cummings, Deborah L. Rhode

Fordham Urban Law Journal

If public interest litigation has not always delivered all that we desire, it has surely provided no lack of experience. Our challenge now is to integrate these lessons from practice with insights from allied disciplines. Taken together, they remind us of the need to coordinate litigation with broader mobilizing efforts, to think strategically about effectiveness, and to create adequate systems of evaluation and accountability.

Integrative Lawyering: Navigating The Political Economy Of Urban Redevelopment Symposium: Race, Economic Justice, And Community Lawyering In The New Century, Sheila R. Foster Jan 2007

Integrative Lawyering: Navigating The Political Economy Of Urban Redevelopment Symposium: Race, Economic Justice, And Community Lawyering In The New Century, Sheila R. Foster

Faculty Scholarship

This shift from defending and reacting to creating and envisioning requires a more engaged organizational role for the lawyer. The lawyer is now expected to do more than translate the organization/community's grievance into discreet legal frameworks and discourse---e.g., a civil rights violation, a nuisance, participatory right, etc. The lawyer now intervenes in negotiations from which the organization or community has been excluded. This new role requires a shifting, flexible mix of skills and a more dynamic interaction with the organization and its varied functions-policy, community education, lobbying, and organizing. This new role is what we call "integrative lawyering," an emergent …


The Lawyer Is Not The Protagonist: Community Campaigns, Law, And Social Change, The Symposium: Race, Economic Justice, And Community Lawyering In The New Century: Concluding Essay, Jennifer Gordon Jan 2007

The Lawyer Is Not The Protagonist: Community Campaigns, Law, And Social Change, The Symposium: Race, Economic Justice, And Community Lawyering In The New Century: Concluding Essay, Jennifer Gordon

Faculty Scholarship

Stories about law and social change can have a sameness to them. Yet in many ways, the tales told in this volume stand out from the crowd. Each story is shaped around a campaign undertaken by a community organization or coalition deeply engaged in the struggle for racial and economic justice. Attorneys appear as supporting players rather than main characters, seeking to help organizations build the power needed to achieve their goals. These lawyers translate information about the law into lay language, pressure opponents, defend the organization, open up spaces for community voice and action, and seek to establish new …
