Be sure to save the date on your calendar for the 16th Annual Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference, at the William and Mary Law School in Williamsburg, Virginia.
This year's B-K Prize will be awarded to Professor Steven J. Eagle. Professor Eagle is a familiar presence to the property bar and the academy, and this award is well-earned. His treatise, Regulatory Takings, is a monumental work, and a book that needs to be on every property lawyer's and scholar's shelf. As the media release notes:
Michael M. Berger, an attorney at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips and the 2014 Brigham-Kanner Prize recipient, considers Eagle one of the finest property scholars of his generation.“[Eagle] has devoted much of his life and his prodigious energy toward analyzing the constitutional nuances embedded in real estate law,” Berger said. “His deeply thought out analyses provide major contributions to the body of law examining and explaining the Fifth Amendment’s final (and almost forgotten) clause. His recognition with the Brigham-Kanner Prize is well deserved.”
Andrew Brigham, an attorney from Brigham Property Rights Law Firm, PLLC, in Jacksonville, Fla., and a member of the Brigham-Kanner Conference Coordination Committee, says that Eagle’s scholarship has long been a “beacon of light” that allows practitioners like himself to navigate the deep waters of regulatory takings.
Read the entirety here. And then hold the dates on your schedule.
This is the best bar-academy-bench conference, and is specifically designed so that those who study the theory of property law and property rights understand what we in the practicing bar and bench are doing.
Professor Eagle joins a list of luminaries in our field, and many of the past BK Prize winners attend.
We hope to see you there.
