Public Trust Doctrine – Davis, CA
The UC Davis Law Review holds its 30th symposium on the same topic as its first: The Public Trust Doctrine: 30 Years Later takes place March 4, 2011.
The public trust doctrine is rooted in the Roman Law idea of res communis, or common properties. Advocates of the public trust doctrine have used it to argue for the preservation of the earth’s resources. Opponents of the doctrine believe that it endorses the unjustified taking of private property by the state without compensation. . . .
