Yesterday, during the Annual Meeting of the Hawaii State Bar Association, we participated in a program sponsored by the Real Property and Financial Services Section, "Inverse Condemnation & Paying for Disasters."

As you can see above, we joined lawprofs Shelley Saxer and David Callies to share thoughts about inverse claims, and the difference between these property arguments and tort negligence claims.

Here are some of the key cases and materials which we mentioned (or should have):

• Lights Out In The Land Of No: The Practical Effects Of California's Wildfire Inverse Condemnation Doctrine
• Cal Supreme Court: Stop Saying Inverse Condemnation Is "Strict Liability"
• MR-GO, Katrina Flooding: Inverse Condemnation And Schlimmbesserung At The Federal Circuit
• Evaluating Emergency Takings: Flattening the Economic Curve, 29 Wm. & Mary Bill of Rights J. 1145 (2021)
• First Lawsuit Filed (Incl. Inverse Condemnation) For Maui Wildfire: Is California-Style Inverse Condemnation Coming?
• Our Drive-Time Conversation About Hawaii Inverse Condemnation And Wildfires
• Shelley Saxer, Paying for Disasters, 68 Kan. L. Rev. 413 (2020)
