Land users, mark this date on your calendar: Wednesday, October 10, 2018. The John Marshall Law Review and the John Marshall Law School's Real Estate Law Students Group is sponsoring the 16th Annual Kratovil Conference on Real Estate Law & Practice in Chicago.
Here's the deal:
Land development is central to the commercial real estate industry and its attorneys, as we continue to address the changing needs of society, but established conditions can impede progress.Privately created restrictions on use and affirmative responsibilities—those covenants running with the land—structure condominiums and homeowner associations, retail shopping centers, and other real property in such a way that the rights and duties of owners and users stand in the way of the future needs of society. Likewise in the public sector, established land development conditions—exactions, impact fees, in-lieu fees—that may have once made sense may no longer support today's land-use goals and policies.
The 16th Kratovil Conference invites scholars, practitioners, and industry professionals to examine how the past is holding back our future. Presenters will consider changes needed for the future, propose the repurposing of old uses to meet current needs, and suggest practical responses to this inflection point.
And you know what the registration cost is? FREE. That's right, no cost.
But you do have to register ahead of time. Do so here.
The agenda looks pretty good, with a slate of interesting topics such as "Private Conditions Run with the Land," "'Stability or Obstruction? Private Land Use Restrictions and the Future," "Quality of Life Servitudes and Exclusion: Privatization as Segregation," and "Public Conditions on Development Are Forever."
