On November 7, 2007, the GMUSL chapter hosted a brown bag lunch with Professor Eric Claeys. Professor Clayes discussed the recent decision in Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005), and the implications of that decision on poor and minority communities. After Professor Claeys presented the background of the case we discussed as a group if or how the decision changed the way courts go about deciding whether a property should be condemned. We also discussed the effects of the decision on suburban, rather than urban, areas.
