Compensation And The Interconnectedness Of Property, Thomas W. Merrill
Compensation And The Interconnectedness Of Property, Thomas W. Merrill
Faculty Scholarship
Professor Joseph Sax's scholarship on the Takings Clause combines the craft of a first-class lawyer with the passion of a visionary. The good lawyer that he is, Sax's scholarship reflects a deep understanding of Supreme Court case law, legal history, and the practical dimensions of various kinds of land use disputes. Yet his work on takings is not animated by any desire for mere doctrinal tidiness. It is driven by a distinctive vision – one in which the earth's resources are becoming increasingly interconnected and in which there is an increasing need for the government to resolve conflicts regarding the …
Hands Off! Civil Court Involvement In Conflicts Over Religious Property, Kent Greenawalt
Hands Off! Civil Court Involvement In Conflicts Over Religious Property, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
In this Article, Professor Kent Greenawalt explores how civil courts can constitutionally resolve conflicts over religious property.

Within this more general approach, Professor Greenawalt considers the two alternative …

In this Article, Professor Heller develops a theory of anticommons property to help explain the puzzle of empty storefronts and full kiosks. Anticommons property can be understood as the mirror image of commons property. By definition, in a commons, multiple owners are each endowed with the privilege to use a given resource, and no one has the right to exclude another When too many owners hold such privileges of use, the resource is prone to overuse – a tragedy of the commons. Depleted fisheries …
Property And The Right To Exclude, Thomas W. Merrill
Property And The Right To Exclude, Thomas W. Merrill
Faculty Scholarship
The Supreme Court is fond of saying that "the right to exclude others" is "one of the most essential sticks in the bundle of rights that are commonly characterized as property." I shall argue in this Essay that the right to exclude others is more than just "one of the most essential" constituents of property – it is the sine qua non. Give someone the right to exclude others from a valued resource, i.e., a resource that is scarce relative to the human demand for it, and you give them property. Deny someone the exclusion right and they do not …
