Here’s the latest in a case we’ve been following (because we filed an amicus brief in the Federal Circuit in support of the property owners, and will be filing a brief in support of the cert petition).
This is the case about New York City’s “Highline,” the abandoned elevated rail line which was converted into
We’ve teased some of the details on the 2017 ALI-CLE Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation and Condemnation 101 Conference, to be held at the Westin San Diego, January 26-28, 2017, but here are the details you’ve been waiting for.
This is the “big one,” our annual 3-day festival of all things eminent domain
During. Good crowd.
Before. Note the power strips on the tables.
Well played, Caesar’s, well played.
To supplement your written materials, here are the decisions and other materials which we spoke about this morning at the CLE International Eminent Domain seminar:
A new article worth your time by economist William Wade, “Theory and Misuse of Just Compensation for Income-Producing Property in Federal Courts: A View From Above the Forest,” 46 Tex. Envtl L. J. 139 (2016).
Bill is familiar to regular readers, as he has been a frequent guest poster, and a prolific
On one hand, we don’t care for attorneys’ fee fights. They are satellite litigation, almost always after the merits have been resolved.

We’re not going to go into much detail about the Court of Federal Claims’ ruling in Katzin v. United States, No. 12-384L (July 15, 2016): (1) it’s long (44 single-spaced pages), (2) it’s a post-trial ruling and not from an appellate court, and (3) we’re busy today.
But we still recommend you read it
Here’s the amici brief we filed today in a fascinating case we told you about recently.
The core issue in Brott v. United States, No. 16-1466, which is currently being briefed in the Sixth Circuit, is whether plaintiffs who allege the United States took their property in a rails-to-trails case can only bring
Here’s one we’ve been waiting for, but had been hoping for a better result.
In Resource Investments, Inc. v. United States, No. 15-802 (cert. petition filed Dec. 16, 2015), the U.S. Supreme Court was being asked to consider the issue it left open after United States v. Tohono O’odham Nation, 131 S. Ct. 1723
Here’s the latest in a case we’ve been following, and that could be hugely important. This is a case about federal court jurisdiction and takings claims against the federal government.
We reported on the of Brott v. United States when it commenced: it’s a rails-to-trails takings case, so it would be understandable if you thought
A very good crowd for today’s Oregon Eminent Domain Conference in Portland.
Here are the links to the cases and other materials that we spoke about today in our session “Inverse Condemnation and Regulatory Takings – Issues and Trends.”
Our thanks to Planning Chairs Jill Geleneau and Paul Sundermier for putting together a great
