Returnees From South America: Japan's Model For Legal Multiculturalism?, Claire J. Hur
Returnees From South America: Japan's Model For Legal Multiculturalism?, Claire J. Hur
Washington International Law Journal
In response to Japan's increasing labor shortage, the Japanese government in 1990 enacted an extensive set of amendments to its restrictive Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act to allow for a controlled but broader method of regulating legal entry of foreign workers into Japan. Significant among those amendments are the provisions granting long-term resident status to persons of Japanese descent entering from abroad and the provisions offering additional rights to foreign-born spouses and children of Japanese nationals. These provisions are mainly targeted at descendants of Japanese who emigrated to South America ("Nikkeijin"). While most of the existing literature …

Missouri V. Jenkins And The De Facto Abandonment Of Court-Enforced Desegregation, Bradley W. Joondeph
Missouri V. Jenkins And The De Facto Abandonment Of Court-Enforced Desegregation, Bradley W. Joondeph
Washington Law Review
It has been forty-three years since the Supreme Court decided Brown v. Board of Education. In this Article, the author argues that the Court's recent decision, Missouri v. Jenkins, presages the end of court-enforced school desegregation. In addition, Jenkins shows that the Court is unwilling to confront its doctrinal principles in the area, preferring instead to base its decisions on relatively narrow, case-specific grounds. Jenkins therefore reveals that the Court will end this important era in our constitutional history quietly, gradually and without articulating its justifications. The author also contends that the reasons for curtailing desegregation remedies proffered …
Race And Place: Geographic And Transcendent Community In The Post-Shaw Era, Lisa A. Kelly
Race And Place: Geographic And Transcendent Community In The Post-Shaw Era, Lisa A. Kelly
Articles
Race and Place is a narrative article, both fictional and true, dedicated to exploring the dual realities of a geographic and transcendent community in the context of the Supreme Court's recent decisions in Shaw v. Reno and Miller v. Johnson. The Court has allowed and affirmed constitutional challenges to districts drawn to empower African-Americans "with nothing in common but the color of their skin." The Article draws upon history, literature, political science, and law to critique the Court's assumptions concerning the challenged districts and to demonstrate the existence of African-American communities of interest which are both geographically bounded by …
In Quest Of Brown's Promise: Social Research And Social Values In School Desegregation, Wallace D. Loh
In Quest Of Brown's Promise: Social Research And Social Values In School Desegregation, Wallace D. Loh
Washington Law Review
There is perhaps no better setting in which to discuss the role of social research in the courts than that of school desegregation. From its early, rural, southern beginnings in Brown to its present, urban, northern manifestation in the Detroit case of Milliken v. Bradley, empirical evidence has been used in the litigation. In 1954, the Supreme Court declared that "[s]eparate educational facilities are inherently unequal" and ruled that the separate-but-equal doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson—which for half a century had legitimated Jim Crow legislation—had "no place" in the public schools. Eleanor Wolf, Professor of Sociology at Wayne State University, …
The Referendum: Democracy's Barrier To Racial Equality, Derrick A. Bell, Jr.
The Referendum: Democracy's Barrier To Racial Equality, Derrick A. Bell, Jr.
Washington Law Review
To criticize the trend toward direct democracy appears reactionary, if not un-American. Yet, as suggested earlier, the growing reliance on the referendum and initiative poses a threat to individual rights in general and in particular creates a crisis for the rights of racial and other discrete minorities. This article seeks to explain why this is so and how courts might use existing constitutional principles to recognize legitimate interests in direct legislation, yet protect minority rights against majoritarian abuse.
Equal Protection, Affirmative Action And Racial Preferences In Law Admissions: De Funis V. Odegaard, Arval A. Morris
Equal Protection, Affirmative Action And Racial Preferences In Law Admissions: De Funis V. Odegaard, Arval A. Morris
Washington Law Review
The purpose of this article is to explore the constitutional dimensions of the equal protection problem presented by a law school's voluntary adoption of racial classifications in a preferential admissions policy, and to do so, in part, by focusing on the recent case of De Funis v. Odegaard.
Washington's Alien Land Law—Its Constitutionality, Theordore Roodner
Washington's Alien Land Law—Its Constitutionality, Theordore Roodner
Washington Law Review
The law, currently extant in Washington, denying aliens who have not declared their intention in good faith to become citizens of the United States the right to own land, and the constitutional provision to the same effect have their beginnings in prejudice and mob violence. Although the modern application of the law has been directed almost solely at the Japanese residents of the state, at its inception it was probably aimed at the Chinese.
