Fordham Conference - Taking New York: The Opportunities, Challenges, and Dangers posed by the Use of Eminent Domain in New York (2/22/2011)

By Robert Thomas (inversecondemnation.com)

Readers: are you planning on attending tomorrow's eminent domain conference at Fordham Law? Details here.

The agenda and faculty look very good. Speakers include Associate Justice James Catterson (N.Y. Appellate Division) (who wrote recently, "Unfortunately for the rights of the citizens affected by the proposed condemnation, the recent rulings of the Court of Appeals ... have made plain that there is no longer any judicial oversight of eminent domain proceedings."), Professors Steven Eagle and Ilya Somin (GMU), and Amy Lavine (Albany Law Gov't Law Center).

We wish we could attend, but we are engaged elsewhere. If you do attend, might we prevail on you to provide a report? If you are so inclined, send it to us and we will post it (let us know whether you'd like attribution, or would prefer to remain uncredited).
