The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments for a major civil rights case that could narrow the scope of discrimination claims made under the landmark Fair Housing Act (FHA). The court is considering whether the 1968 law allows racial and other bias claims based on seemingly neutral practices that may have a discriminatory effect. These are known as “disparate impact” claims. There is no dispute over the law’s prohibition on openly discriminatory acts.
