Institute for Justice

Public-interest litigators on eminent domain, zoning, and government-favoritism abuses.

The Institute for Justice litigates the property-rights and government-overreach questions that data-center deals routinely raise: eminent domain for transmission lines, zoning and land-use fights, and public subsidies steered to favored corporations.

When a project leans on tax abatements or condemnation to get built, their work is a useful reference for the legal arguments residents can raise.
