Eminent Domain - The Rich Get Richer

http://www.mslaw.edu

Was Justice Sandra Day O'Connor right when she asserted that it was the wealthy and influential who would benefit from eminent domain at the direct expense of small property owners? In this installment of "Books of Our Time," Dean Lawrence R. Velvel of the Massachusetts School of Law interviews Steven Greenhut, a reporter for the Orange County Register and author of "Abuse Of Power: How The Government Misuses Eminent Domain".

The full interview is available at http://tinyurl.com/2mvcdl . The Massachusetts School of Law also presents information on important current affairs to the general public in television and radio broadcasts, an intellectual journal, conferences, author appearances, blogs and books.
