Fred Bosselman and the Taking Issue

As the first of four tribute pieces to Professor Bosselman, this article is an overview of three works by Professor Fred Bosselman which had a significant impact on the takings issue: The Quiet Revolution in Land Use Control, The Taking Issue, and A Model Land Development Code. All three had a tremendous influence on land use law as current practitioners know it. The author offers unique insight from the position of one who worked with Professor Bosselman on the first two projects as well as helping Professor Bosselman with the implementation of the Model Code in Florida.
