Kelo Ten Years Later: The Impact on Eminent Domain, Property Rights, and Homes

A panel discussion with

• Ilya Somin, George Mason University
• Nadia Nasser-Ghodsi, Bigelow Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School
• Professor Lee Fennell, University of Chicago Law School

In 2005 the Supreme Court handed down the controversial decision of Kelo v. City of New London. Ten years later, we ask what the impact of the case has been on the real world. Our panelists address the effects of economic development and blight condemnations on the housing market as well as the state-level reform efforts prompted by the decision.

Presented by the Kreisman Initiative on Housing Law and Policy, the Law and Economics Society, and the Federalist Society on May 13, 2015.
