Jiggetts V. Grinker: Does It Establish A Right To "Adequate Shelter Allowance" In New York State?, Kurt Emhoff
Jiggetts V. Grinker: Does It Establish A Right To "Adequate Shelter Allowance" In New York State?, Kurt Emhoff
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the Jiggetts v. Grinker case, which addresses the adequacy of shelter allowances for AFDC recipients in New York State. It argues that current allowances are insufficient compared to housing costs, leading to homelessness, and advocates for increasing these allowances. The analysis extends this reasoning to Home Relief recipients, emphasizing equal protection under the law.
Sweep Searches--The Rights Of The Community, And The Guarantees Of The Fourth And First Amendments: Moms Of The Chicago Public Housing Complex, Revisit Your Civil And Constitutional Rights And Save Your Babies, Lundy Langston
Journal Publications
African-American babies are an endangered species. They have the potential to live to the ripe old age of fourteen. We are singing new songs of overcoming-overcoming the loss of our babies. However, it's the same song: the lyrics are Black, and the music is, as always, White. Across the nation let us hold hands, let us gather together, let us save our babies. Will the music, the lyrics of our collective songs, save our babies? Is there a collective voice? There must be a collective voice if we are to save our babies and WE must save them if we …
Aboriginal Governments And The Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms, Kent Mcneil
Aboriginal Governments And The Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms, Kent Mcneil
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Starting with the premise that the Aboriginal peoples of Canada have an inherent right of self-government which is constitutionally protected, this article analyzes the issue of whether Aboriginal governments exercising that right are subject to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This issue is examined from a legal perspective based on textual analysis and common law principles. It is concluded that, as a matter of Canadian constitutional law, with the exception of the section 28 gender equality provision, the Charter does not apply to Aboriginal governments. This avoids imposition of the Charter generally on these governments by judicial decree, …
The Organic Constitution: Aboriginal Peoples And The Evolution Of Canada, Brian Slattery
The Organic Constitution: Aboriginal Peoples And The Evolution Of Canada, Brian Slattery
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Despite recent advances in the law of aboriginal rights, most Canadian lawyers still tacitly view the Constitution as the outgrowth of European legal traditions, transplanted into North America. This article identifies the main features of this model of the Constitution and proposes a more appropriate model to replace it, one that recognizes the Constitution's deep roots in Canadian history and traditions, and acknowledges the distinctive contributions of Aboriginal peoples and their long-standing relations with the Crown.
Secret Proceedings In Canada, Ian Leigh
Secret Proceedings In Canada, Ian Leigh
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
National security and constitutionalism are often thought to be fundamentally incompatible. Recent reforms in Canada involve creative attempts to recognize constitutional rights to fair procedure within processes in which individuals' rights are in conflict with state security interests, such as security clearance, deportation, or access to information. The procedures examined in this article include in camera and ex parte review by Federal Court judges and the use of the Security Intelligence Review Committee. The analysis draws on interviews with participants and compares these procedures with other situations in which restrictions upon open justice have faced Charter challenge, especially under sections …

Conquering The Cultural Frontier: The New Subjectivism Of The Supreme Court In Indian Law, David H. Getches
Publications
For a century and a half, the Supreme Court was faithful to a set of foundation principles respecting Indian tribal sovereignty. Though the United States can abrogate tribal powers and rights, it can only do so by legislation. Accordingly, the Court has protected reservations as enclaves for Indian self-government, preventing states from enforcing their laws and taxes, and holding that even federal laws could not be applied to Indians without congressional permission. Recently, however, the Court has assumed the job it formerly conceded to Congress, considering and weighing cases to reach results comporting with the Justices' subjective notions of what …

Toward A Pragmatic Model Of Judicial Decisionmaking: Why Tort Law Provides A Better Framework Than Constitutional Law For Deciding The Issue Of Medical Futility, Brent D. Lloyd
Seattle University Law Review
Recognizing that courts will eventually have to confront the issue of medical futility, this Comment argues that there is no principled basis for omitting these difficult questions from a legal analysis of the issue and that courts should therefore decide the issue in a manner that honestly confronts them. Specifically, the argument advanced here is that courts confronted with cases of medical futility should decide the issue under principles of tort law, rather than under principles of constitutional law. The crux of this argument is that tort principles provide an open-ended analytical framework conducive to considering troublesome questions like those …
Takings In The Court Of Federal Claims: Does The Court Make Takings Policy In Hage?, Danielle M. Stager
Takings In The Court Of Federal Claims: Does The Court Make Takings Policy In Hage?, Danielle M. Stager
University of Richmond Law Review
In the eleven western states, almost half of the land is federally owned and a large percentage of that federal land is used for grazing privately-owned domestic livestock. The Department of the Interior estimates that permitted grazing occurs on thirty-six percent of federal land, but this percentage is much higher in the areas containing more federal rangeland. In 1990, the eleven western states had approximately seventeen million beef cattle and 102,800 beef producers. Roughly eighteen percent of those beef producers had federal grazing permits, but in some states that percentage was much higher. For example, eighty-eight percent of the cattle …

Plenary Power And Constitutional Outcasts: Federal Power, Critical Race Theory, And The Second, Ninth, And Tenth Amendments , Nicholas J. Johnson
Faculty Scholarship
Rights and power in modern American constitutionalism are conceptually interdependent: "We have no way of thinking about constitutional rights independent of what powers it would be prudent or desirable for government to have." In an era where substantive boundaries on federal power seem ephemeral, this suggests that what we call rights may be primarily fair weather or illusory barriers to the exercise of power.From a majoritarian perspective, the shifting boundary between rights and powers, and the capacity of power to consume rights, may be unproblematic and even attractive. If the exercise of plenary power reflects majority will, then this exercise …
Natural Law And Constitutional Law, Gerard V. Bradley
Natural Law And Constitutional Law, Gerard V. Bradley
Journal Articles
A distinguishing feature of the natural law, as Catholics have always understood it, is the set of exceptionless negative moral norms, including that against intentionally killing the innocent. These norms constitute the superstructure of the Christian moral life. They also serve as a ramp to heaven for non-Christians. As the Holy Father made so powerfully clear in the encyclical Veritatis Splendor [VS], when we preach the Gospel we preach the good news of salvation through Jesus. "It is precisely on the path of the moral life that the way of salvation is open to all." [VS …

Constitutional Fictions And Meritocratic Success Stories, Robin West
Constitutional Fictions And Meritocratic Success Stories, Robin West
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
L.H. LaRue demonstrates in his book, Constitutional Law as Fiction, that, at least in the realm of constitutional law, there is no simple correspondence between fiction and falsehood, or fact and truth. Partial or fictive accounts of our constitutional history, even when they are riddled with inaccuracies, may state deep truths about our world, and accurate recitations of historical events may be either intentionally or unintentionally misleading in the extreme. According to LaRue, the Supreme Court engages in a form of storytelling or myth-making that goes beyond the inevitably partial narratives of fact and precedent. The Supreme Court also tells …

Standards For Constitutional Review Of Privacy-Invading Welfare Reforms: Distinguishing The Abortion-Funding Cases And Redeeming The Undue-Burden Test, Susan F. Appleton
Vanderbilt Law Review
As the debate on welfare reform proceeds relentlessly toward what many hope will be a drastically altered system, critics of reform proposals have wisely focused their attention on the competing policy choices faced by Congress and the president (and ultimately perhaps the states). As a result, Congress's avowed determination to limit available funds and to abolish certain entitlements to public assistance has prompted arguments about the merits of programs that might compete for dwindling federal dollars. For example, should Congress stop welfare payments to unmarried teenage mothers? Should it cap the amount of support a family receives, regardless of the …
"Takings" Jurisprudence In The U.S. Supreme Court: The Past 10 Years, Gregory S. Alexander
"Takings" Jurisprudence In The U.S. Supreme Court: The Past 10 Years, Gregory S. Alexander
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
No area of American property law has been more controversial in recent years than the government regulation of uses of private property. No aspect of American constitutional law more sharply poses the dilemma about the legitimate powers of the regulatory state than the requirement that the government pay compensation for takings of property. The purpose of this essay is to acquaint the non-American legal scholar who is unfamiliar with the recent developments in the United States Supreme Court “takings” jurisprudence. The essay does not presuppose any background knowledge about either American constitutional or property law. Instead it attempts to familiarize …
