The Center for Real Estate Law at The John Marshall Law School in Chicago is hosting a discussion on the rights of property owners in light of government use and restrictions of the property, when it presents the Kratovil Conference of Real Estate Law and Practice from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29.
Increasingly, local governments are requiring that land developers contribute land, or cash in lieu of land, as a condition of development approval. These "exaction" requirements typically require contributions for schools, parks and traffic improvements that localities believe are necessary to serve the new development but which local government itself cannot or will not pay.
In the hotly debated area of private property rights, this topic is often at the eye of the storm and is increasingly important. The Supreme Court decided Lingle v. Chevron last term and determined that, generally, a court will defer to zoning restrictions granting local government considerable leeway in determining how property within its jurisdiction should develop. But in the area of exactions, by definition, a property owner is required to give over property as a condition of development approval.
During the program, "The Takings Clause Clarified by the U.S. Supreme Court: Lingle v. Chevron Regulations, Exactions and Eminent Domain," participants will consider: Is this a "taking of property without just compensation" prohibited by the U.S. Constitution? How does the law evaluate these cases?
This conference will open with a presentation by guest speaker David Callies, the Benajamin A. Kudo Professor of Law at the University of Hawaii at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law, where he teaches land use, state and local government and real property.
Afterward, panelists for each side of the argument will engage in a lively debate on the present and future of this important area of takings jurisprudence.
Attorneys Paul Carroll of Gould & Ratner, John Lawlor from Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP and Sanford Stein of Gardner Carton & Douglas LLP will participate in a practitioners panel discussion.
They will be followed by an academic panel featuring Professor Susan Connor of The John Marshall Law School; Richard Epstein, James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School; Richard Green, Oliver T. Carr Professor of Real Estate Finance at George Washington University; and Dale Whitman, James E. Campbell Missouri Endowed Professor of Law at the University of Missouri Columbia School of Law.
A networking breakfast from 8 to 9 a.m. is sponsored by Bank of America.
A luncheon, sponsored by Fidelity National Financial, will follow at which Callies will do a book signing for his book "The Role of Customary Law in Sustainable Development."
The Kratovil conference is sponsored by Gardner Carton & Douglas LLP, Gould & Ratner, Illinois Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, and Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP.
Reservations are being accepted by the Department of Event Management at 312.987.1420 or at events@jmls.edu.
