I’ve posted discussion materials for the upcoming HSBA Natural Resources Section talk on the post-Rapanos landscape.  All documents are in pdf format.  Caution: a couple of files are large, and may take a while to download.

If you have any questions you want discussed at the session, please email me.

In January, I will be speaking on three topics:

  • At the Hawaii Land Use Law Conference, I’m presenting “Water, Water, Everywhere: Coastal Zone Management Permits; Hawaii’s Floodway, Floodplain and Coastal Inundation Zone Requirements.”  Agenda and registration details here.
  • At the annual Advanced Land Use and Zoning seminar, my portion is “US Supreme Court Land Use Update,” which deals with the Rapanos Clean Water Act case, other federal developments in land use law, and some of the more interesting Hawaii Supreme Court land use decisions.  I will also be covering “Vested Rights Update” with my colleague Greg Kugle.  Complete agenda and registration information here.
  • At the HSBA Environmental Law section January meeting, I’m presenting “Clean Water Act Jurisdiction After Rapanos.”  Approximately one week before the meeting, I will post materials and resouces on this blog.

I hope to see you at one or more of these events.  Drop me an email for sign up information or see the links on the “Events” heading on the right.

I’m on the faculty of a legal education seminar titled “Eminent Domain: Legal Update and Practical Tips” scheduled for Octber 12, 2006.  Details here.  Download the brochure here.

Also on the faculty are some stellar individuals in the property law and condemnation business: Professor David Callies, valuation expert Jan Medusky, and attorney James K. Mee. 

I will be addressing three subjects:

  • How Recent Case Law and Legislative Developments in Eminent Domain Law Will Impact You (with Prof. Callies)
  • Understanding Just Compensation (with Jan Medusky)
  • The Debate Between Government Rights and Property Owner Rights (with Jim Mee).

We will be dealing, among other topics, with the impact of Kelo and the legislative reaction to the opinion (unfortunately, none so far in Hawaii).  While a background knowlege of eminent domain concepts is helpful, it will not be necessary in order for an attendee to get a lot out of these sessions.

Update – October 12, 2006: materials from this seminar posted here.
