Yes, the mysterious ducks remain — and seem to have multiplied.
It’s that time of the year again. Fall’s-a-coming, and that means that starting today, we’re back at the William and Mary Law School in Williamsburg, Virginia to teach two courses:
- Eminent Domain and Property Rights (W&M is one of the few law schools in the country that offer a course in eminent domain, just compensation, and takings)
- Land Use Controls (an especially hot topic at the moment)
The registration numbers for both courses are good (really good), and two full classrooms of Dirt Law goodness tells us something about this area of law — it’s really interesting, and a good place to make your way in the practice, and law students recognize that.
We don’t use $400 casebooks in either class.
Time to jack back into the (takings and land use) Matrix.
