Condemnation 101: Winning the High Ground with Fundamentals of Eminent Domain Valuation and Trial Practice - Segment D

Why Attend?

Condemnation 101 provides an excellent introduction (or refresher) to basic concepts and techniques for preparing and presenting an eminent domain case. Offered in conjunction with ALI-ABA’s long-running annual advanced Course of Study, Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation, the course is designed to provide the practitioner who is relatively new to this area of law a practical understanding of eminent domain legal principles and helpful insights on property valuation when preparing for mediation or trial. This year’s course, Condemnation 101: Winning the High Ground with Fundamentals of Eminent Domain Valuation and Trial Practice, focuses on the strategic advantages that can be gained by understanding the fundamentals of eminent domain valuation and trial practice for both condemnors and condemnees.

The course is taught by experienced eminent domain lawyers who present substantive and practical advice developed after years of preparing and trying both simple and complex eminent domain cases themselves.

This course runs concurrently with ALI-ABA's annual Course of Study, Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation. This unique format allows practitioners who are new in the field of eminent domain to network with many of the nation's most experienced condemnation lawyers, and to benefit from many of those same lawyers serving as their faculty.

For practitioners who are new to the field and experienced practitioners who want a refresher on fundamental practice concepts, this course provides:

• Practical understanding of eminent domain and property valuation
• Insights on working with valuation experts and legal strategy
• Opportunities to network with the faculty and registrants for both this course and its advanced-level companion course, Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation
