Talk about timing: Dana Berliner, Andy Gowder, and I were talking about the Central Radio case during a session on free speech and other First Amendment issues at the recent ALI-CLE Eminent Domain Conference, when we learned that at the same time we were speaking about the case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Austin, Texas, is where we’re at for the next few days, for the 2016 edition of the American Law Institute-CLE Eminent Domain and Land Valuation conference, now in its 33d year.

We know we’ve been doing the hard sell lately, with multiple posts on the details of the upcoming 2016 Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation / Condemnation 101 Conference, which runs from January 28-30, 2016, in Austin, Texas. And this will be our last pre-conference post, we promise.

We’re now only a bit more than two weeks away from the 2016 Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation – Condemnation 101 Conference, which runs from January 28-30, 2016, in Austin, Texas.

We’ve been tied up with other things the past few days, so haven’t had a chance to do much posting, but here’s something to tide you over, a piece from Florida colleague Jacob Cremer, “Why Exactions Law Should Bring Property Rights Advocates Cheer in the New Year.”
