Blighting The Way: Urban Renewal, Economic Development, And The Elusive Definition Of Blight, Colin Gordon
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article examines the way municipalities have used increasingly broad interpretations of "blight" to compete for state tax increment financing (TIFs) for economic development purposes.

Housing Gideon: The Right To Counsel In Eviction Cases , Rachel Kleinman
Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Comment examines this legal reality by focusing specifically on an indigent’s inability to gain access to counsel within the confines of eviction proceedings. The author lays out the arguments for both those who favor recognizing an indigent’s right to counsel in eviction proceedings and those opposed to recognizing that right. Ultimately, absent an indigent’s access to counsel in these civil cases, their ability to have any sort of meaningful access to justice is seriously …
