Join Kinnon Williams and Lindsey Folcik at the American Law Institute’s annual Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation conference. On Friday, January 23, Kinnon and Lindsey will present on “The Constitutionality of Taking Private Property to Preserve a Species or Habitat.”
The use of eminent domain to preserve habitat or open space presents a modern stress test for the constitutional “public use” requirement. Unlike condemnations for roads, utilities or public buildings, takings for habitat or open space involve intentionally removing land and productive use, often restricting or eliminating public use. This presentation will examine:
-
- The judicial evolution process of “public use,” and
- How recent cases illuminate both the expanding possibilities and unresolved limits of conservation-based takings, with a primary focus on recent Washington state experience
For more than four decades, the Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation conference has been the premier national gathering for eminent domain attorneys and related professionals. Now celebrating its 43rd year, it remains the must-attend event for anyone looking to stay current, connected and inspired in this field.
