Today, I have the great pleasure of welcoming Dwight H. Merriam, a partner with the Robinson & Cole firm, as the Connecticut member of Owners’ Counsel of America. OCA is the nationwide network of the most experienced eminent domain and property rights lawyers who, as noted in a recent brief, “seek to advance, preserve and defend the rights of private property owners and thereby further the cause of liberty, because the right to own and use property is ‘the guardian of every other right‘ and the basis of a free society.” OCA has one member per state.
Readers of this blog should know Dwight well. He frequently forwards items of interest to post, was a co-author of a recent brief in the New York rent control case, has authored chapters in the seminal eminent domain treatise Nichols on Eminent Domain, and was part of the recent property owner victory ($167,501,656!) in the Gyrodyne condemnation, among a host of other accomplishments.
Welcome, Dwight!
