You overwhelmingly asked for Nashville, and we’re bringing it to you!
Get ready, and hold your place now: here’s the list of programs and speakers for the 36th Annual ALI-CLE Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation Conference, to be held at the Downtown Nashville Hilton, January 23,- 25, 2020. Two-and-a-half days with top-notch national faculty (lawyers from both sides, judges, legal scholars, appraisers, relocation experts, and others).

Here are just some of the programs:
For many years, a tenant had a month-to-month lease from Baltimore for a space in one of the city’s public markets. One day, the market sent the tenant an email informing it that it no longer “fit in the [redevelopment] plans,” and that it should “pursue other options.” The tenant took that as “get out.” And instead of digging its heels in, the tenant did what the city instructed and sought “other options.” It left.
The tenant then sued, claiming a taking. It also sought relocation benefits under Maryland’s version of the Relocation Act, which requires “[w]henever a program or project undertaken by a displacing agency will result in the displacement of any person, the displacing agency shall make a payment to the displaced person” for things like moving expenses and the cost of locating a replacement business.
The question the Maryland Court of Appeals determined in Wireless One,
The final agenda and faculty list will soon be officially published, but we wanted to give you a preview of what is in store at the ALI-CLE Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation Conference, January 23-25, 2020, at the Nashville Hilton (downtown, just a few steps away from everything that Nashville has to offer).
Don’t miss out: in recent years, we’ve been at-or-near capacity, and the conference hotel has even sold out a couple of times. Visit the ALI-CLE website to register and hold your space.
Here are some of the things we’ll be discussing:
Recently, we requested crowdsourcing of this year’s “come to the ALI-CLE Eminent Domain Conference video.” Instead of doing the video ourselves, we asked folks to “please send a short clip of you and/or your colleagues telling us why you think the Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation Conference is the place to be in January. Humor welcome, but not required.”
Our friend and colleague, St. Louis’ Paul Henry, has answered the call, admirably. Paul, as you may remember, is famous for his presentation a couple of years ago at the Conference about “Everything About Eminent Domain I Need To Know I Learned From Star Trek.” Which he gave in a Starfleet captain’s uniform. Brave man. Readers know that we dig Star Trek. But we are not that brave, so bravo, Paul.
See if you don’t agree that Paul has now raised the video bar.
I am grateful that planning chairs Justin Hodge and Jeremy Baker invited me to their conference. A room full of experts. Here are the links to the cases and other items I spoke about:

As part of a federally-funded highway project, the WV DOT took a portion of parcels belonging to several property owners. The partial takings ended up landlocking one tract. So the DOT proposed building an access road to that parcel. The owners didn’t think this was the best idea, because “maintaining a road in that area would be unreasonably costly” because the area is steep and in a slide area.
The owners counterclaimed, seeking an order to compel the DOT to take this landlocked track as an “uneconomic remnant” under the Uniform Relocation Act, which defines that term as “a parcel of real property in which the owner is left with an interest after the partial acquisition of the owner’s property and which the head of the Federal agency concerned has determined has little or no value or utility to the owner.” 42 U.S.C. § 4651(9).
The trial court concluded the
