v. Wisconsin: The Supreme Court’s Latest “Take” on Takings on Monday,

In Murr v.
Wisconsin, the Court ruled 5-3 that a Wisconsin "lot
merger" regulation was not an unconstitutional taking as applied to
two contiguous parcels, one of which the owners wanted to sell while
retaining the other. Rejecting the competing "bright-line
rule" positions offered by the owners and the State of Wisconsin,
Justice Kennedy announced a new multi-factor test to determine the extent
of the appropriate "denominator" in takings claims involving merger
provisions applied to contiguous parcels. This webinar will review the facts
and ruling in Murr, discuss the dissenting Justices'
criticisms of Kennedy's test, and the implications of the Murr ruling
both on how state and local governments regulate contiguous parcels
and ways that owners of contiguous parcels may react to the ruling.
Speakers include Alan
Weinstein of Cleveland State University’s Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and
Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs; Nancy Stroud of the firm Lewis,
Stroud & Deutsch, PL; and John Echeverria of Vermont Law School.
