Textbooks on Eminent Domain
A reader who will be teaching a seminar on eminent domain next semester wrote to ask for textbook suggestions. As far as I know, there aren't any takings casebooks out there. Steven Eagle's book on Regulatory Takings is more of a treatise. If you know of anything, please leave a comment. Also, if you've taught a takings or constitutional property seminar and would be willing to share your syllabus, please leave a comment or send me an e-mail. [As always, comments require approval before posting, so there might be some delay].

Comments
Regarding the request for a book about Eminent Domain to use for a Seminar on the subject: Tom Roberts, Professor of Law at Wake Forest University Law School and co-author (with Callies and Freilich) of a West Land Use Casebook, has edited a book and supplementary edition called "Takings." It is published by the ABA. It consists of commentary and articles about the issue and, with a supplement of redacted cases, could provide a good text for such a seminar.

An excellent article which could be used is:
Wendell Pritchett, The Public Menace of Blight: Urban Renewal and the Private Uses of Eminent Domain, 21 YALE L. & POL'Y REV. 1, (2003).
