SCOPE AND PURPOSE

This annual course of study, comprising more than 19 hours of instruction, including two hours of ethics, is designed to provide an effective and efficient review of current issues in land use for attorneys, planners, public officials, developers, and academics. Now in its 25th year, the Land Use Institute has earned its role as the most comprehensive land use continuing education program available. Special features of this year's Institute include:

Edited Course Materials

Each panel has a faculty coordinator and all materials are discussed among the panelists for each session before being prepared in conformance with a specific set of guidelines. Outlines are then submitted to a course materials editor for review prior to submission to ALI-ABA for reproduction. This effort annually produces a volume of materials that assists participants follow the lectures and provides a valuable stand-alone resource that many use as an annual desk book on current land use issues.

Head Start Program

During this session, selected faculty members address the basics of land use planning and development regulation, review seminal cases in areas related to the forthcoming panel presentations, and offer a brief overview of the legal issues to be covered.
