The John Marshall Law School

This national debate started with two scholars in Chicago, so it is a fitting site for a reexamination of the issues surrounding this 40-year old national debate and the legislation it produced. The Kratovil Quiet Revolution Conference will begin with an analysis of the impact The Quiet Revolution has had on our nation and land use policy. National speakers representing several states involved in The Quiet Revolution will analyze how The Quiet Revolution unfolded in these jurisdictions. The second panel will focus on issues of regional planning in Chicago and the surrounding region. The final panel of the conference will take a look to the future of regional planning and lessons learned from The Quiet Revolution.

As part of the Center for Real Estate Law's mission, the Kratovil Conference on Real Estate Law & Practice was established in 1993 to bring together leading scholars, practitioners and industry professionals to consider cutting-edge issues important to commercial real estate attorneys, their clients, industry leaders and our society. The Kratovil Conferences are unique because they address the policy and practical implications of issues of concern to the real estate industry and to the attorneys who practice in the field. It is the only forum presented by a law school involving the interaction between scholars, leading practitioners and industry leaders on topics related to commercial real estate law and practice. The Kratovil Conference addresses the need to engage both practitioners and scholars in the real estate area in order to produce scholarship that is directly relevant to the real estate industry. In connection with the Kratovil Conference, the Center works with The John Marshall Law Review to publish articles authored by speakers at Kratovil Conferences in a special symposium issue.
