The Ethel Lawrence Houses, which launched the landmark case

This Week on Due Process

The New York Times places them among the most  "important civil rights decisions of the modern era."   A pair of landmark rulings  by the New Jersey Supreme Court, prohibiting "exclusionary zoning" and requiring a "fair share" of affordable housing in every municipality in the state.

Mount Laurel, a court case that began nearly 50 years ago when the South Jersey suburb blocked just 36 garden apartments intended for displaced black and poor residents.  The NAACP filed suit - and the rest is history.

But it's been a troubled history, praised by some, condemned by others .. and still creating dissension, resistance and, now, still another major Supreme Court ruling.

The ongoing fight for fair housing, the Governor's opposition and what comes next - on this week's edition of "Due Process."

Studio guests: Senator Ray Lesniak and Assemblyman Scott Rumana.

   

Due Process - winner of 22 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.

Due Process is a production of Rutgers School of Law - Newark and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy with studio facilities provided by the Rutgers iTV Studio, Division of Continuing Studies. 

Major funding for Due Process is provided by The Fund for New Jersey and Rutgers, The State University.
