January 13-14, 2011: Fifth Hawaii Land Use Conference

By Robert Thomas

On January 13 and 14, 2011, I'll be leading two sessions in the fifth Hawaii Land Use Law conference. This one only comes around every two years, so this is your chance to get updated on the hottest topics by a stellar faculty.

My sessions will cover Coastal Issues (which includes shoreline boundary, takings, and the U.S. Supreme Court's Stop the Beach Renourishment case), and Water Issues (which will cover instream flow standards, public trust and private rights, and the Maui Water cases).

The keynote speaker will be Professor Gideon Kanner, who will present "Taking a Critical Look at 30 Years of the Supreme Court's Takings Jurisprudence." That alone will be worth the admission price.

Also of note: the seminar includes 3.25 Hawaii MCPE ethics credits, so you can fulfill your 2011 requirements in one sitting (you can attend the ethics portion for only $195). Members of the HSBA Real Property and Financial Services Section are also entitled to a $200 discount in the registration fee.

Also on the faculty are Professor David Callies (U. Hawaii Law), Ben Kudo (Imanaka, Kudo and Fujimoto), Professor Patty Salkin (Albany Law), David Arakawa (Land Use Research Foundation Hawaii), Orlando Davidson (Hawaii Land Use Commission), Lisa Bail (Goodsill Anderson Quinn and Stifel), Naomi Chang (Kuiwalu), and David Tanouye (Honolulu Dep't of Planning and Permitting).
