Land Use Law and the Impulse From a Vernal Wood: The Mohonk Trust Case

摘要

When I am asked to designate one of the court cases litigated over 55 years of practice as the most satisfying, I generally choose the Mohonk Trust case. In that case, I was able to combine strategic skills gained from many years of litigating with a cause to which I had long been devoted, that of wild land preservation. The case provided an unusual, but in my view, entirely apt, coupling of legal principles and English romantic poetry.
