More Course Details
In 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court set out a number of standards and criteria in its approval of disparate impact (as compared to proof of discriminatory intent) that have made it more difficult for individuals to bring (and easier for government to defend against) housing-discrimination claims based on the disparate impact of a governmental action under the U.S. Fair Housing Act. Disparate impact is particularly relevant in the context of zoning and planning since these decisions affect how certain groups access housing.
Explore how dozens of recent federal court decisions interpret the inclusive communities case standards for bringing a disparate-impact housing discrimination case and how government and plaintiffs have fared. session panelists represent government and private parties and will share their experiences in bringing or defending disparate-impact claims.
