The Damon Key bloggers have teamed again to draft an essay on Stop the Beach Renourishment, Inc. v. Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection, No. 08-22 (June 17, 2010). The article, authored primarily by Robert Thomas, (inversecomdemnation.com), with some assistance from Mark Murakami (hawaiioceanlaw.com) and me, gives our impressions and thoughts of the case and the evolution of judicial takings. The article is entitled Of Woodchucks and Prune Yards: A View of Judicial Takings From the Trenches and is posted on Social Science Research Network here. Both Robert and Mark have an excerpt from the Introduction of the article on their blogs here and here.
Again with Robert taking the lead, the three of us filed an amicus brief supporting the property owners in Stop the Beach Renourishment.
