Legal Lessons
Have you received your August issue of Planning? Among interesting articles about climate-induced relocations in Alaska (comparable to our own Isle de St. Jean Charles), about successful habitat conservation efforts for grassland bird species, and about "clean" versus "dirty" energy production mechanisms, you will find on page 13 the Legal Lessons contribution by our own Stephen Villavaso, FAICP, J.D. entitled "Reading Between the Lines".

The District Court's decision was overturned by the Louisiana Supreme Court and the plaintiff lost the case. As planners we are encouraged to "dig deeper" and glean instruction from the concurrence and dissent statements. Download Mr. Villavaso's article here:
