Egyptian Land Law: An Evaluation, David F. Forte

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

In all cases, the country adopting the Western code has attempted to infuse it with traditional values or with tenets of a particular ideology. Frequently, the inevitable dichotomy between the basic concepts of the code and the values which have been infused into it produce legal tensions. This has certainly been the case in Egypt. Traditionally, Egypt has had difficulty accommodating a growing population on a limited amount of arable land. Whether Egypt is able to remedy past maldistribution of arable land will have significant social, economic and political consequences. The success of legal reform in Egypt must be judged …

Journal Publications

This volume presents a series of papers delivered in 1975 at a conference entitled "The Taking Issue: An Economic Analysis." It is prefaced with an essay by Professor B. H.

Several distinguished commentators, both legal and economic, comment on Johnson's position. This review will examine some of the major topics discussed in the volume and raise a few objections to its analysis.

Elimination Of The Highest And Best Use Principle: Another Path Through The Middle Way, Joseph P. Tomain

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

Traditional land use law categorizes governmental activities that affect the value of private property as exercises of either the state's police power or eminent domain power. This dichotomy has created what Professor John J. Costonis describes as the "disparity issue": if in a legitimate exercise of its police power a state reduces the value of land, no compensation is required; if the governmental action devalues land too much, however, it is deemed a taking within the eminent domain power and full compensation according to the land's "highest and best use" is required. Often, this compensation exceeds the land's present value. …

Land Use Controls In Iowa, Joseph P. Tomain

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

Land use controls in Iowa, as in other states, exist in a variety of forms. Both the substance and structure of these controls continually change to meet the needs of a developing society. Recent and rapid technological growth, together with the spread of population, indicate that there is a growing interdependence between land use and land users. As a result of this interdependence and the complex nature of our technological and economic environment, the number of governmental regulations is increasing rapidly. This Article will focus on the two predominant governmental controls utilized in Iowa-zoning and planning. Next, the Article will …
