Berkeley Law recently hosted the 13th Annual Conference on Litigating Regulatory Takings Challenges to Land Use and Environmental Regulations. Co-sponsored by Vermont Law School and the Georgetown University Law Center, the day-long event convened top scholars and practitioners to discuss cutting-edge issues raised by recent and pending court cases and new regulatory initiatives. They addressed issues such as the current state of eminent domain law in California, standards for determining government liability for alleged breaches of contracts, takings questions raised by sea level rise and other consequences of climate change, and recent takings cases involving regulations of water use.
