REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION UNDER THE FEDERAL FAIR HOUSING AMENDMENTS ACT

This article reviews the legislative history and case law of the Fair Housing Act. It reviews the elements of a claim for reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities under the FHA. It argues that some courts have incorrectly interpreted the statute restrictively defying the intentions of the drafters of the statute

Five-Hundred-Year Flood Plains and Other Unconstitutional Challenges to the Establishment of Community Residences for the Mentally Disabled

This article examines the impact of state statutes and local ordinances on the establishment of community residences for the mentally disabled. While some states have policies advocating for community residences, these policies are often undermined by barriers such as neighborhood opposition and statutes and ordinances that impede development. The author analyzes the application of the equal protection clause to statutes and ordinances affecting the mental disabled, ultimately concluding that many are unconstitutional. Finally, the author discusses the impact of City of Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Center on state statutes and local ordinances that limit the establishment of community residences. The author ultimately proposes a model statute that prohibits strategies used to bar community residences

Attorneys Must Not Enter Partnership Agreements Prohibiting Themselves from Representing Former Clients Upon Termination of Partnership. Dwyer v. Jung, 133 N.J. Super. 343, 336 A.2d 498 (Ch. 1975), appeal docketed, No. 3378-74, App. Div., June 18, 1975.

Three attorneys entered into a partnership agreement for the practice of law. Their agreement included a provision that assigned the partnership\u27s insurance carrier clients to individual partners upon the termination of the partnership and restricted the partners from doing business with a client designated as that of another partner for a period of five years. Of these insurance carrier clients, 154 were assigned to the defendant while five were allotted to the plaintiffs. After the partnership was dissolved, the plaintiffs sought a judicial accounting. The defendant counterclaimed, contending that the plaintiffs violated the restrictive covenant of the original partnership agreement by attempting to do business with clients designated as his. Plaintiffs denied the charge and argued that the covenant apportioning clients to individual partners had the effect of prohibiting the other partners from dealing with those clients and was therefore void as against public policy. The plaintiffs also contended that they had entered into the agreement at the insistence of the defendant, even though all parties regarded the provision as unenforceable. The Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, held that the covenant in the partnership agreement restricted the partnership\u27s clients in their choice of counsel and was thus void for public policy reasons. The court refused to apply the standards usually used in evaluating restrictive covenants

A survey of numerical models for wind prediction

A literature review is presented of the work done in the numerical modeling of wind flows. Pertinent computational techniques are described, as well as the necessary assumptions used to simplify the governing equations. A steady state model is outlined, based on the data obtained at the Deep Space Communications complex at Goldstone, California

Tables for determining lead, uranium, and thorium isotope ages

Tables for determining lead, uranium, and thorium isotope ages are presented in the form of computer printouts. Decay constants, analytical expressions for the functions evaluated, and the precision of the calculations are briefly discussed

Campus Services to Support Historians

As the environment in which humanities scholars work continues to evolve rapidly, the set of support services that will best enable innovative scholarship also changes. But too often, the support services made available to scholars are defined by the traditional core competencies of the service provider rather than by the needs of scholars. In this project, we will take a scholar-centric approach to understanding the information service needs of scholars in the field of history, seeking both to identify concrete needs for new information services and to model an approach to service development that evolves with the needs of scholars. This project will probe how scholars in the field of history rely on existing information services, identify concrete opportunities for new support services that would address unmet needs, and serve as a pilot for a broader program of investigation into the future of information services for the humanities
