The Spring/Summer 2025 Review of the California Supreme Court Historical Society was in my mailbox yesterday and should soon be available online. (I’m on the Society’s board.) The issue is the last for editor-in-chief Molly Selvin, who is being succeeded by J. Clark Kelso.
Uncommonly, the Review has only one article in this issue. It is Bob Wolfe’s “Unholy Covenants: How California Courts Came to Enforce Racial and Ethnic Restrictions on Housing and Their Impact Today.” The piece says, “Whole swaths of the state were blocked off to Blacks and other ethnic groups, reducing the American dream of home ownership to meaningless legal fictions.”
This Review might not be welcomed by the federal government or in Florida.
