American Land Planning LawCase and Materials, Volume 1\nAuthor(s): Jr. Williams\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781412848633, 978-1412848633\nSynopsis\nThe materials in American Land Planning Law are derived from decades of experience in teaching planning law at six planning schools and three law schools. Among the hypotheses included here, two are clearly vindicated in the reading. The first involves basic tenets in the approach referred to as \""legal realism\""that courts play a major role in policy formation. A second hypothesis is implicit in the basic organizational principle of these materials, that planning problems arise from land use conflicts, and further, that courts have adopted distinctive policies on these conflicts.\n\nNorman Williams' organizational format is unique. The notes provided after each case have been omitted, due to a repetition that would result from what has already been said in the text.
