Supreme Court to hear One Strike case February 19

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the Rucker case on February 19, 2002. The legal case will test the validity of the "One Strike" eviction statute, which PHADA and HUD strongly support. The government's position will be advocated by the U.S. Department of Justice's Solicitor General.

PHADA, CLPHA, NAHRO and HDLI submitted an amicus curiae brief in support of One Strike last month. Readers can link to that document here. PHADA will report on further developments related to the Supreme Court case as they become available.
