California Eminent Domain Report

For anyone looking to spend more time on eminent domain issues, there are two upcoming events you may want to consider. 

• For those looking for a one-day commitment, I recommend the IRWA, Chapter 1 2010 Fall Education Seminar, which is taking place on October 26 at the Quiet Cannon in Montebello.  I don't have the full list of speakers yet, but it's always a good event, and my partner, David Graeler, is Chair again this year. I'll be talking about the interrelationship between goodwill and the Relocation Act, using the recent Casasola opinion as a jumping off point (look for a post about that later today). 

• For those looking for two full days of eminent domain excitement, CLE International is holding its 12th Annual Eminent Domain Conference October 28 and 29 at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco.  I'll be speaking the morning of October 28 on a panel discussion of the Guggenheim regulatory takings case, and the entire schedule looks great. 

And don't forget, summer's drawing to a close, so your local IRWA chapter is likely about to start its regular meetings again.  I know that Chapter 67 (Orange County) has its meeting on September 14 and Chapter 57 (Inland Empire) has its meeting on September 1.
