Get ready for this year’s Land Use Institute conference on “Planning, Regulation, Litigation, Eminent Domain, and Compensation,” to be held in Boston on August 13-16, 2008. I can’t attend this year, but have in the past, and like all ALI-ABA land use conferences, it looks like it will be well worth going if you can. The faculty is first-rate and includes professor-bloggers Gideon Kanner (Gideon’s Trumpet) and Patricia Salkin (Law of the Land) and other notables from our practice area.
The keynote address will be presented by Harvard Law School Professor Charles M. Haar, revisiting his seminal 1955 law review article on land use planning “In Accordance With a Comprehensive Plan” (is there a single land use lawyer who hasn’t read this article at least once?). The agenda for the conference, and other information is posted here.
