In September, the ABA Section on Litigation (Committee on Condemnation, Zoning and Land Use) published Law and Procedure of Eminent Domain in the 50 States, a state-by-state summary of each jurisdiction’s eminent domain laws and cases. I authored the chapter on Hawaii.
Topics covered include who hasthe power to take, sources for condemnation authority, the rules ofjust compensation, and the procedural aspects of eminent domainlitigation.
The individual state chapters, mine included, are posted for download for ABA members here.
