We were eagerly anticipating 40th American Law Institute-CLE Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation Conference. The 2022 Conference in Scottsdale was one of the first meetings where everyone was back in-person (and was a smashing success), but that conference was early in the game so not everyone could or would attend. But in the past
We really want you there…
One (nearly) last reminder that there’s still time to register for your space at the 40th ALI-CLE Eminent Domain & Land Valuation Litigation Conference, February 1-4, 2023, in Austin. In the past several years, we have sold out due to the conference room capacity and the conference hotel block.
Starting in January, we’ll be teaching the venerated, and oh-so-important Land Use course (Law 580) at the University of Hawaii’s Law School.

Here it is, the official agenda and program for the 40th ALI-CLE Eminent Domain & Land Valuation Litigation Conference, February 2-4, 2023 (with a special event the evening of Wednesday, February 1, 2023 to entice you to arrive early).

United States (is
October 20, 2022 was what one advocate noted was “land use day at the Ninth Circuit,” because three out of the four cases being argued in Courtroom 3 of the San Francisco courthouse were indeed land use — or perhaps more accurately, regulatory takings — cases.

Now that the Supreme Court’s first arguments of this Term are in the books, you can read the transcript, or listen to the recording (mp3) (or stream it above). This is Sackett v. EPA, a case that has been to the Court before, where it unanimously held that the Sacketts could ask a
Coulda been worse.
When the Third Circuit’s published opinion in Yaw v. Delaware River Basin Comm’n, No. 21-2316 (Sep. 16, 2022) popped up in our feed we got a slight frisson in anticipation – a claim that the Commission’s banning of fracking was a taking.Thank you Knick for opening the federal courts
