Join Law of the Land on Wednesday, January 30 to learn about the dispute over the Obama Presidential library's Jackson Park location. This fall, Protect Our Parks filed a lawsuit arguing that the public trust doctrine prevents the city from permitting the construction of the presidential center on the lakefront. Professor Strahilevitz will explain both sides of the dispute, including arguments in an amicus brief he co-wrote with other law professors (including Professor Lee Fennell). Roti will be served.
