The arrival of an odd-numbered year in Nevada ushers in a new season of the Nevada Legislature and, along with it, potential opportunities and perils for attorneys and their clients. Those unfamiliar with the legislative process tend to look upon it with disdain and skepticism. However, attornies involved in the legislative process recognize it for what it truly is: a process for the resolution of public policy issues afforded to us by our democracy, and a process that deserves the respect of all citizens, particularly those of us given the privilege of administering, interpreting and upholding the law.
By Robert L. Crowell, Esq. & Russell M. Rowe, Esq.

In the summer of 2005, the Supreme Court of the United States decided a momentous case regarding government’s rights when exercising the power of eminent domain. Specifically, the Court held that a “city’s exercise of eminent domain power in furtherance of an economic development plan satisfied Constitutional ‘public use’ requirements.” Kelo v. City of New London, Connecticut, 125 S. Ct 2655 at 2656 (2005). However, the Court specified that “nothing in our opinion precludes any State from placing further restrictions on its exercise of the takings of power.” Id. at 2668.
