Constitutional Law - Racial Discrimination - Thirteenth Amendment, Nicholas D. Krawec

Duquesne Law Review

42 U.S.C. § 1982-The United States Supreme Court has held that the official closing of a public street, resulting in a benefit for the white residents of that street and an inconvenience disparately impacting black residents of a neighboring community, is neither a badge of slavery prohibited by the thirteenth amendment nor an impairment of property interests protected by 42 U.S.C. § 1982.

Municipal Hospital Closings Under Title Vi: A Requirement Of Reasonable Justifications, Carol A. Cimkowski

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Municipal hospital closings in recent years are a by-product of two phenomena: 1) the dramatic increase in health care costs and, 2) the fiscal crisis facing many cities. The impact of this reduction in municipal services is felt most acutely by indigent inner city residents, who, because of municipal hospitals receive a portion of their funding from the federal government, have been able to challenge the closings of acute health care facilities as a violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Whether plaintiffs can succeed in these suits depends upon the standard that federal courts will employ …

Chapters Of The Civil Jury, Doug Rendleman

Scholarly Articles

The civil jury, though constitutionally protected by the seventh amendment, has remained a controversial institution throughout much of Anglo-American legal history. Our romantic ideals are questioned by critics who view the civil jury as prejudiced and unpredictable; proponents note the sense of fairness and "earthy wisdom" gained by community participation in the legal process. This debate surfaces in the process of accommodation between certain substantive goals of the law and the pre-verdict and post-verdict procedural devices courts have employed to control the jury. In this article, Professor Rendleman examines this conflict in his three "chapters" involving racially motivated discharges of …

Hawkins V. Town Of Shaw: The Court As City Manager, C. Ronald Ellington, Lawrence F. Jones

Scholarly Works

For over one hundred years Congress and the federal courts have pursued the goal of racial equality in the United States. In areas such as voting rights, public accommodations, and housing, Congress and the courts have interacted closely, with broad judicial interpretations upholding major remedial legislation. Moreover, when confronted by official state sources of racial discrimination, courts have traditionally responded to the clear command of the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment without awaiting congressional action. Brown v. Board of Education stands as perhaps the best known instance in which a court has, on its own, ordered the elimination …
