Comment on Projecting and Puppeteering by vidramas

The ‘unwitting billboard’ framing captures exactly why projected messages onto a home feel like a violation even without physical contact. I found the courts’ struggle — too incorporeal for trespass yet too fleeting for nuisance — the most revealing part. If such projections became actionable, where would you draw the line on a public building versus a private home?

For Swedish tailoring blogs that reference English measurement terms, a quick character count helps avoid confusion. When you 文字数カウント, the tool shows real-time counts, excludes spaces and line breaks, and converts to manuscript pages without sending data anywhere.

Comment on Knick, Federal Courts, and Regulatory Takings by Michael Robinson

I am currently in this very state of limbo. After a Ca fire the County has tried to regulate a taking of my property breaching all kinds of Civil rights doing it. Like, “Due process.” I cant get firms to even look at it. To me its blatant! They made up claims to justify a taking of generational land for a park. Its not ambiguous. Its a fact

Excellent write-up, Keith — it’s inspired me to share Prof. Crusto’s work with a student working on a paper in this area in my seminar course!

Comment on Honor Among Thieves: US Property Law, Conquest, and Slavery by Emma Jordan

K-Sue Park’s robust intellectual reconfiguration of the labor theory and the “first in time” rules reveal the racial violence that underlies our property law.

Her work creates a powerful new foundation for conceptualizing property law. This is true genius.

Comment on Honor Among Thieves: US Property Law, Conquest, and Slavery by ‘Honor Among Thieves: US Property Law, Conquest, and Slavery’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] K-Sue Park, ‘The History Wars and Property Law: Conquest and Slavery as Foundational to the Field’, 131 Yale Law Journal (forthcoming), available at SSRN. In the most powerful and important article I have read in years, ‘The History Wars and Property Law: Conquest and Slavery as Foundational to the Field’, Professor K-Sue Park blows the cover off American property law to show the central role played by historic expropriation and commodification of Native lands and Black persons. Conquest of land and enslavement of people make up a small or nonexistent part of most first-year property law courses. But without these two organizing principles, the property course in US law schools seems disjointed and oddly Anglicized. Professor Park explains this lack of cohesion as resulting from persistent erasure of two of US property law’s most foundational aspects: conquest and slavery …” (more) […]

Comment on Hidden Resources by ‘Hidden Resources’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] Monika Ehrman, ‘Application of Natural Resources Property Theory to Hidden Resources’, 14 International Journal of the Commons 627 (2020). Property law scholarship is often framed in resource-agnostic terms. The field of Property is concerned, fundamentally of course, with governing ‘things’. But the conceptual or theoretical frameworks often assume they can apply equally to any and all resources. Monika Ehrman challenges this notion in her recent work, ‘Application of Natural Resources Property Theory to Hidden Resources’. The key contribution of her article is in underscoring just how important the visibility of a resource (or actually, lack thereof) can be to the formation of property … (more) […]

Comment on The Dream of Property Professors by ‘The Dream of Property Professors’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] Michael Heller and James Salzman, Mine! How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives (2021). Michael Heller and James Salzman’s new book, Mine! How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives, is a dream come true for property professors. I suspect that many of us have moments when we think to ourselves, ‘wow, this stuff is really interesting’, imagining that property law could somehow be of general interest. Too often that dream is killed when the eyes of non-lawyers, including family members, start to glaze over when they hear words like rule against perpetuities or trademark. Heller and Salzman have succeeded in making the stories property professors tell the stuff of a bestseller. They retell many of the standard classroom or analytical stories in a way that is both interesting to the general public and somehow worthy of broad discussion … (more) […]
