Without their contributions, the Creighton Law Review would not exist as the publication and organization it is today. Like so many others, I am honored to have been a small part of the Creighton Law Review’s fifty-year history and want to recognize the hard work contributed by so many. I had the pleasure of serving as the Editor in Chief of the 40th Edition of the Creighton Law Review, and the contri- butions of my fellow Board of Editors—Anna M. Yost; Kelsey A. (Ev- ans) Bunkers; Kevin S. Tuininga; Amy Bonn; Chad M. Gallacher; Cody D. Katzer; and Paul A. Christensen—still come to mind ten years later. To this day, I remember and am grateful for the exper- iences and life lessons I learned during my time at the Creighton Law Review. Law review is not for everyone. Much like the practice of law, it requires hours of tedious work, attention to detail, and critical think- ing.

  • The Data Journalism Handbook
    THE DATA JOURNALISM HANDBOOK Towards a Critical Data Practice Edited by Liliana Bounegru and Jonathan Gray 1 Bounegru & Gray (eds.) The Data Journalism Handbook “This is a stellar collection that spans applied and scholarly perspectives on practices of data journalism, rich with insights into the work of making data tell stories.” − Kate Crawford, New York University + Microsoft Research New York; author of Atlas of AI “Researchers sometimes suffer from what I call journalist-envy. Journalists, after all, write well, meet deadlines, and don’t take decades to complete their research. But the journalistic landscape has changed in ways that scholars should heed. A new, dynamic field—data journalism—is flourishing, one that makes the boundaries between our fields less rigid and more interesting. This exciting new volume interrogates this important shift, offering journalists and researchers alike an engaging, critical introduction to this field. Spanning the globe, with an impressive variety of data and purposes, the essays demonstrate the promise and limits of this form of journalism, one that yields new investigative strategies, one that warrants analysis. Perhaps new forms of collaboration will also emerge, and envy can give way to more creative relations.” − Wendy Espeland, Northwestern University; co-author of Engines of Anxiety: Academic Rankings, Reputation, and Accountability “It is now established that data is entangled with politics and embedded in history and society. This bountiful book highlights the crucial role of data journalists

  • African American Studies Young, Kurt B. B.A
    ABSTRACT AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES YOUNG, KURT B. B.A., UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, 1991 INSTITUTIONAL RACISM, REDLINING AND THE DECLINE OF SIX ATLANTA CO~UNITIES Advisor: Dr. Michael Bailey Thesis dated July, 1994 Bank, mortgage and insurance redlining, as an extension of institutional racism, has been detrimental to the development of African American communities. Racism has always existed as a negative force in the lives of African Americans and has historically been observed with relative ease. Today, racism continues to hamper the social, political and economic advancement of African Americans but it has become highly sophisticated and less visible, making it much more difficult to detect by its victims. This difficulty in detection has caused confusion in the problem-solving efforts of those concerned with the decline of African American neighborhoods. This study discusses the impact of redlining in six Atlanta communities, first by analyzing the ideology responsible for the practice of racism; second, by discussing how racism has become institutionalized; and last, by examining redlining’s role in community housing markets and 1 household finance. The research pinpoints particular indicators of neighborhood decline, such as homeownership, vacancy, abandonment and property value. Then the relationship between the redlining and decline, reflected in the behavior of the indicators, is exposed. The study found that redlining, in spite of legislation to stop it, continues to stunt the growth of African ~inerican communities. Specifically, its practice results in fewer new homes, more residents forced to rent, more vacancies and lower relative property value. These factors combine to generate a process of decline in African American neighborhoods over time.

  • Subprime Lending, Mortgage Foreclosures and Race: How Far Have We Come and How Far Have We to Go?
    Subprime Lending, Mortgage Foreclosures and Race: How far have we come and how far have we to go? Ira Goldstein, Ph.D. Director, Policy & Information Services The Reinvestment Fund With: Dan Urevick-Ackelsberg The Reinvestment Fund Subprime Lending, Mortgage Foreclosures and Race Background For most of the 20 th century, lending discrimination occurred primarily through the denial of credit to minority group members and to the neighborhoods in which they lived. Redlining is a place-based practice in which lenders denied mortgage credit to neighborhoods with substantial numbers of minorities – typically, African Americans and Latinos. Together with the differential treatment of minority and White applicants, a people-based practice, mortgage credit discrimination accelerated segregation and neighborhood decline. For many years, the private market and federal government (e.g., through the explicit practices of the Federal Housing Administration) operated under laws and policies that permitted (and many argue, promoted) redlining and racial segregation.1 After the passage of a number of historically significant federal laws in the 1960s and 1970s, especially the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 (ECOA), federal law and policy outlawed lending discrimination, and started to require data collection among federally-regulated lending institutions. However, early enforcement of federal fair lending laws was anemic as evidenced by the limited number of legal actions filed, most of which were by private actors.2 Data collection on lending institutions did not begin in earnest amongst regulators until petitions were made to the financial regulatory agencies by the National Urban League in 1971.

Born at the turn of the twentieth century, Ms. Clark was the daughter of copper magnate William Andrews Clark and his second wife Anna LaChapelle who was nearly forty years his junior. Though their name is largely forgotten, the Clarks were at one time among the wealthiest and most powerful families in the country. Born in her mother’s native France in 1906, Huguette lived the first four years of her life in Paris. After moving back to America with her parents and her older sister, she lived a very privileged life in New York City. Her father built the family of four a lavish 120-room mansion along Fifth Avenue which overlooked Central Park.

  • State's Responses As of 8.21.18 (00041438).DOCX
    DEMOCRACY DIMINISHED: STATE AND LOCAL THREATS TO VOTING POST‐SHELBY COUNTY, ALABAMA V. HOLDER As of May 18, 2021 Introduction For nearly 50 years, Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) required certain jurisdictions (including states, counties, cities, and towns) with a history of chronic racial discrimination in voting to submit all proposed voting changes to the U.S. Department of Justice (U.S. DOJ) or a federal court in Washington, D.C. for pre- approval. This requirement is commonly known as “preclearance.” Section 5 preclearance served as our democracy’s discrimination checkpoint by halting discriminatory voting changes before they were implemented. It protected Black, Latinx, Asian, Native American, and Alaskan Native voters from racial discrimination in voting in the states and localities—mostly in the South—with a history of the most entrenched and adaptive forms of racial discrimination in voting. Section 5 placed the burden of proof, time, and expense1 on the covered state or locality to demonstrate that a proposed voting change was not discriminatory before that change went into effect and could harm vulnerable populations. Section 4(b) of the VRA, the coverage provision, authorized Congress to determine which jurisdictions should be “covered” and, thus, were required to seek preclearance. Preclearance applied to nine states (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia) and a number of counties, cities, and towns in six partially covered states (California, Florida, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and South Dakota). On June 25, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States immobilized the preclearance process in Shelby County, Alabama v.

"ON THE TAKE": THE BLACK BOX OF CREDIT SCORING AND MORTGAGE DISCRIMINATION CASSANDRA JONES HA V ARD* ABSTRACT Subprime credit, a relatively new method of risk-based pricing, has been hailed as a way to open-up markets and provide credit to those who would otherwise be excluded. However, evidence suggests that subprime mortgage segmentation increases, rather than reduces, exclusionary practices in lending. Furthermore, it is unclear how lenders determine who qualifies as a subprime borrower. This concern became apparent when studies demonstrated that mi­ nority borrowers, regardless of creditworthiness, are more likely to receive ex­ pensive, subprime loans. The disparity is properly attributed to lenders' credit pricing policies.
