This conference was held at the South Texas College of Law on March 22, 2006. Presentations covered working with special commissioners, ethics issues surrounding eminent domain, an examination of the Kelo decision and Texas legislation, inverse condemnation, eminent domain evidentiary issues, eminent domain and billboards, "project influence," and the impact of Hubenak v. San Jacinto Gas Transmission.

This title discusses direct and nondirect condemnation and eminent domain. It is divided into three parts, which are entitled “ten critical steps in takings litigation,” “taking analytical framework and materials elaborating on takings doctrine,” and “the Jurisprudence of Takings: Present and Future.” Updated through 2010.

This is a survey of eminent domain law for all 50 states plus Washington D.C. An outline for each state provides the following information: who can condemn, what property can be condemned, condemnation proceedings, challenge procedure, inverse condemnation, issues surrounding just compensation, treatment of various ownership interests, abandonment, and attorney's fees and costs.

Rayburn was last updated by the publisher in October 1998 and unfortunately there is no volume to take its place. For the legal researcher, this set is still used for historical information.

"Regulatory Takings provides clear, yet trenchant analyses of the federal and state constitutional principles that arise when expanding land use regulations clash with the right of citizens to receive just compensation when their property is taken." - publisher's description
