Preparation And Trial Of A Condemnation Case—The Property Owner, Paul Sinnitt Nov 1957

Preparation And Trial Of A Condemnation Case—The Property Owner, Paul Sinnitt

Washington Law Review

The following remarks on law, procedure, problems and preparation for trial of a condemnation case are not intended as a text for condemnation. I mention only some aspects of this highly diversified field; no set pattern can be applied to each and every condemnation trial.

Because of the tremendous demand in our state for highway improvements, this field of condemnation is ever-expanding.

What Is Justice?, By Hans Kelsen (1957), M. Maurice Orona

Washington Law Review

The critic of Kelsen enjoys the unenviable position of crossing swords with the lordly; and so one is tempted to concede value to his works rather than to analyze that work as distinct from the aura of the author.
