No better way to start 2026 than to check out the Yale Journal of Regulation‘s (the self-labeled “Nation’s Top-Ranked Administrative and Corporate Law Journal”), for its symposium on the twentieth anniversary of the Kelo case.
Featuring authors who readers of this blog will recognize (all the big names), the symposium features articles you will want to dive into, including:
“Arguing Kelo Then and Now” (Bullock and Berliner)
“Debates Over ‘Public Use’ in the State Constitutional Conventions” (Brady)
“Taking Homes” (Dickinson)
“Kelo at the Crossroads of Constitutional and Administrative Law” (Epstein)
“Eminent Domain, Corruption, and the Constitution” (Mahoney)
… and much more.
And while we’re on the subject, a reminder: back in October as part of the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference, the William and Mary Law School Real Estate Law Society staged a “re-moot” of Kelo to see if two decades of experience and reaction to the decision changed the arguments or the outcome. We’ll be posting the video recording of the moot shortly.
