This bibliography, written in reference to the April 28th 2009 oral arguments in the case Cuomo v. Clearing House Ass'n, L.L.C, 129 S.Ct. 987 (2009), is intended to assist advocates and attorneys who are seeking information on the issue of racial discrimination in predatory lending. In Cuomo, the issue before the U.S. Supreme Court is whether the "visitorial powers" provision, 12 U.S.C. § 484, of the National Bank Act ("NBA") and the corresponding interpretations by the Offices of the Comptroller of Currency ("OCC") prohibit measures taken by the New York State Attorney general to enforce New York state fair lending law against national banks.
