“What’s Yours Can be Mine: Are there Any Private Takings After City of New London v. Kelo?”

David A. Schultz, Hamline University

Abstract

This article examines the use of eminent domain in light of the Kelo v. City of New London Supreme Court decision. After a review of state takings litigation the conclusion is that the courts can and still do find that private takings can occur but that the judiciary is able to protect against them.
