Kelo Re-Mooted
In addition to the Friday speaking panels, on Thursday, October 23, the William and Mary Law School Real Estate Law Society (a student organization) is presenting a "re-argument" of the Supreme Court arguments in Kelo v. New London, in recognition of that case's twentieth anniversary. Arguing for Susette Kelo will be her lawyer in the real case, the Institute for Justice. The Justices will be property law professors and eminent domain practitioners.
Will the Moot Supreme Court reach a different outcome with the benefit of two decades of experience and hindsight? This event is open to the public, so please join us and find out!
