Mostly mising from all the anticipation over the Supreme Court’s “blockbuster” cases on same sex marriage, voting rights, and affirmative action, is the Court’s third takings decision of the term, Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Management District. Professor Ilya Somin primes the pump in this post, “Still Waiting for the Koontz Decision,” which includes links to other prognostications, including an interesting (possible) insight from lawprof Josh Blackman.
We’re also in the final planning stages for the July 12, 2013 ABA webinar on Koontz and Horne, “Supreme Court Takings: A First Look at Koontz and Horne.” Make plans and join us for a discussion of these cases by our panel of expert scholars (Professors David Callies [Hawaii] and Michael McConnell [Stanford, also arguing counsel in Horne]), and practitioners (my State and Local Government Law Section colleagues Andy Gowder and Michael Kamprath).
