I’m on the faculty of a legal education seminar titled “Eminent Domain: Legal Update and Practical Tips” scheduled for Octber 12, 2006. Details here. Download the brochure here.
Also on the faculty are some stellar individuals in the property law and condemnation business: Professor David Callies, valuation expert Jan Medusky, and attorney James K. Mee.
I will be addressing three subjects:
- How Recent Case Law and Legislative Developments in Eminent Domain Law Will Impact You (with Prof. Callies)
- Understanding Just Compensation (with Jan Medusky)
- The Debate Between Government Rights and Property Owner Rights (with Jim Mee).
We will be dealing, among other topics, with the impact of Kelo and the legislative reaction to the opinion (unfortunately, none so far in Hawaii). While a background knowlege of eminent domain concepts is helpful, it will not be necessary in order for an attendee to get a lot out of these sessions.
Update – October 12, 2006: materials from this seminar posted here.
