Description

Eminent domain can seem oppressive and unfair.  The American system of compulsory acquisition features constitutional restrictions and obligations, as well as numerous duties imposed on condemning authorities and rights conferred upon impacted landowners.  Our right of way acquisition process has come a long way, yet imperfections persist.  Do we have the best system in the world? Is it fair enough? Are there loopholes that still need to be closed, and is there more that we should be doing to protect our citizens? Texas eminent domain attorney Sejin Brooks joins Infrastructure Junkies to offer his insights into what's broken within the systems of right of way acquisition, eminent domain and the Uniform Relocation Act.
