McDougall, Harold A. – Harvard Civil Rights - Civil Liberties Law Review, 1979
Examines the New Jersey Supreme Court's involvement in and subsequent withdrawal from the issue of exclusionary zoning. Holds that despite arguments to the contrary, the courts are necessarily a political institution and should take an activist role in social issues that concern people's needs. (Author/GC)
