This Thursday at noon, I will be speaking on Kelo v. City of New London and Post-Kelo eminent domain reform at Michigan State University Law School in Room 340. Many of the issues I will cover are discussed in greater detail in my forthcoming article on post-Kelo eminent domain reform. I will also speak on prospects for strengthening protection for property rights in the future, a question I briefly addressed in the last part of this article.

I suspect that my speech at MSU may be overshadowed by the hoopla over Michigan State's upcoming appearance in the NCAA Final Four. But I'm going to do the talk anyway, and I hope that interested Spartans might take a little time off from the basketball festivities to see it.
