The 2012 issue of
California Legal History is out, and it is full of good stuff. Of particular interest: the papers from last fall's ASLH panel "
The Golden Laboratory: Legal Innovation in Twentieth-Century California":
Mark Brilliant, "From Integrating Students to Redistributing Dollars: The Eclipse of
School Desegregation by School Finance Equalization in 1970s California."
S. Deborah Kang, "Implementation: How the Borderlands Redefined Federal Immigration Law and Policy in California, Arizona, and Texas, 1917–1924."
Felicia Kornbluh, "Turning Back the Clock: California Constitutionalists, Hearthstone Originalism, and BROWN V. BOARD."
The full issue appears to be available
here, at the website of the California Supreme Court Historical Society.
