The American Bar Association put out the first issue of The Urban Lawyer in 1969, in the wake of what they called in the inaugural issue, the “urban crisis.” Topics range from violent crime to labor/housing issues and beyond. Tailored to lawyers and non-lawyers alike, this journal contains letters, case studies, periodicals, book reviews, and other useful sources related to a variety of urban-specific conflicts.


Some of my favorites from The Urban Lawyer:
The School District Boundary Problem
Empowering Cities in a Federal System
Internet Access in Public Libraries: A First Amendment Perspective
Juvenile Detention: A Constitutional Problem Affecting Local Government
The Role of The Lawyer In Urban Housing
