The American Bar Association Includes Article by Paul D. Wilson in Recently Published Book on Land Use Law
2/4/2009
The ABA's new book, At the Cutting Edge 2008: Land Use Law From The Urban Lawyer, was released in late January 2009. One of chapters is an article Paul recently published in The Urban Lawyer, the law review published by the ABA and the University of Missouri-Kansas City Law School. Paul's chapter is entitled "Of Synagogues and Nude Juice Bars: Can a Municipality Settle Land Use Litigation without a Permitting Process?" In that chapter, Paul considers the question of when and how a landowner and municipality, litigating a decision over a land use permit application, can settle that court case once and for all without triggering another permitting process which might result in additional court appeals.
The ABA's Cutting Edge book is an outgrowth of a seminar that Paul chaired at an ABA meeting in April 2008 in Charleston, SC on hot topics in land use law. Paul has participated in that annual seminar for a decade, and the ABA has asked him to chair the seminar for the past several years. Paul is also a frequent writer on legal topics.
