Only rarely is receivership used in civil rights cases—although as this collection demonstrates, receivership is a less uncommon remedial device in cases dealing with public housing and cases in the District of Columbia. Still, receiverships are not unheard of in other areas; the collection includes, for example, high-profile receiverships in Plata v. Brown (California prison medical care), and in Allen v. City of Oakland (Oakland police department).
