Land Use and Property Law
Land is a valuable resource that provides sustenance to all and a sense of place, home, and identity to many. For those reasons, people have been accumulating (and fighting over) land for millennia. Things are no different today, as land use and property rights remain important in our society, with courthouses and headlines full of land-related matters. The laws governing these issues involve a complex web of private property rights, governmental powers and regulations, and often centuries old property law.
