Abstract
The Institute for Justice is a nonprofit, public interest legal center committed to defending and strengthening essential foundations of a free society: private property rights, economic and educational liberty, and the free exchange of ideas. The instant case involves the limits of government power when conditioning the right to use and develop one's property on the surrender of other property to the government without compensation. Although the question in the case before this Court specifically concerns development "exactions," the issues presented go to fundamental questions about the nature and exercise of government power in a highly regulated, modem state and the rights of individuals faced with such enormous power. The Institute's brief, co-authored with a nationally recognized expert on takings law, addresses the specifics of the instant case while also analyzing the larger issues raised by this particular instance of government power.
