In early February, Christian Torgrimson and Elizbeth Story are speaking at the American Law Institute's Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation conference in New Orleans.

Christian is serving as a planning co-chair of the conference's Condemnation 101 program. She will also be part of an ethics panel on February 2 on lawyer well-being, which will explore how the movie Groundhog Day can offer lessons related to breaking out of old routines.

Elizabeth Story is presenting on February 1 in a session about learning to assess and deal with damages caused by third parties in a condemnation action. She will explain how local jurisdiction requirements may trigger additional damage to property and business owners that must be evaluated as part of an owner’s right to just and adequate compensation.

The ALI-CLE conference will be in its 41st year. It brings together attorneys and other professionals from around the country to explore the latest trends and provide insights on eminent domain and land valuation practice.
