What was the overall quality of the course (presentation, materials, and technical delivery)?
Rate the overall teaching effectiveness and presentation skills of faculty for the course.
How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?

Interesting speakers. Very well done. I'll plan on returning next year.

Course was generally very informative and interesting. Certain of the presenters were not particularly polished, but all seemed knowledgeable in their practice area. Course leaned a bit toward municipal rather than private development practice and could have provided more content on the issues facing developers and their counsel--along the lines of "How to get what you want in negotiating with a municipality on behalf of your client"

I would prefer fewer government related development topics.

I love this course every year ! It is the best at well rounded topic presentations. I purchased the course last year and listened to it. I neglected to report my CLE so I listened to the conference again and learned more usable information.

Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid: The United States Supreme Court’s Latest Pronouncement on Unconstitutional Takings   (May 2022)

In Hassid, the Court held that a California regulation that provided union organizers limited access to agricultural worksites was a per se taking based upon the proposition that any governmental grant of physical access, no matter how time-limited or functionally constrained, constitutes a per se unless one of the Court’s articulated exceptions applies. A review of the Hassid decision, which acts both as a primer on takings law under the 5th Amendment, as well as a potential expansion of the takings doctrine as to what constitutes a physical taking of real property in a per se taking.

We Are Family, or Are We?  (May 2022)

For decades, municipal zoning ordinances have routinely utilized “family” in describing zoning districts and land uses, but the “family” envisioned in the 1950’s or 1960’s is functionally different than what we may consider a “family” in 2022. Examine the legally evolving definition of “family” and practical implications in current municipal land use law.
