Center for State & Local Government Law at UC Hastings College of the Law
twelfth annual “Cities on the Cutting Edge”
Cities and counties respond to the global economy in creative and sometimes controversial ways. On the economic side, cities flex their economic muscle through community development agreements, project labor agreements, living wage ordinances and the like. On the immigration side, day laborer ordinances, sanctuary and non-cooperation policies, and state and federal preemption dominate council rooms and courtrooms.
Do these policies work? What legal issues do they raise? What challenges do they pose for the basic legal, political and economic framework of local government?
