Kelo v. City of New London: Ten Years Later
Houston, 77002
Houston Lawyers Chapter
Speaker:
- Professor Ilya Somin, George Mason University
On January 27, 2016, the Houston Lawyers Chapter of The Federalist Society will host a lunch presentation by Professor Ilya Somin of George Mason University entitled, "Kelo v. City of New London: Ten Years Later." In 2005, the Supreme Court decided Kelo v. City of New London, a 5-4 decision that upheld a city's use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another in the interests of economic development. Professor Somin is the author of "The Grasping Hand: Kelo v. City of New London and the Limits of Eminent Domain," the first book by a legal scholar about the Kelo case and its aftermath. Professor Somin will discuss the immediate repercussions of the decision, legislative and judicial responses, and its continuing significance ten years later.
