This session traces the history of FLPMA including, among other things, its legislative, administrative, and historical antecedents, including for example, the Public Land Law Review Commission’s 1970 report, One Third of Our Nation’s Lands.

The European Union: A Comparative Perspective, Ernest A. Young
The European Union: A Comparative Perspective, Ernest A. Young
Faculty Scholarship
This chapter, to be included in the Oxford Principles of EU Law volume, compares the federalisms of Europe and the United States.

In particular, the EU is federal—that is, integrated to a comparable degree to the U.S.—with respect to its distribution of competences and the sovereignty attributed to EU law and institutions.

I shift focus here to the more prosaic terrain of federal courts law, in which practice plays a pervasive role. That shift reveals two important insights: First, while historical practice plays an important constitutive role, structuring …
The Fair Market Value Of Public Resources, Bruce R. Huber
The Fair Market Value Of Public Resources, Bruce R. Huber
Journal Articles
This Article explores the problem of public resource sales with particular reference to natural resources managed by the federal government. Lands owned by the United States hold trillions of dollars' worth of natural resources. Federal agencies earn billions in annual revenue from resource sales, yet critics assert that billions more could be reaped if resources were sold for a fair price. Although federal law has increasingly required that agencies price resources at fair market value, this requirement is surprisingly difficult to interpret and even more dfficult to implement and enforce. This Article analyzes the various forces that bear on public …
