Frank Michelman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Michelman is Robert Walmsley University Professor and teaches at Harvard Law School. He wrote the famous law review article, Property, Utility and Fairness, (80 Harv. L. Rev. 1165 (1967)) on the economic reasons for just compensation in the 5th Amendment Just Takings clause to the United States Constitution. This article was cited by the majority in its opinion in Penn Central v. New York City, the Supreme Court case that dealt with the authority of a local New York City landmark law that forbade the railroad company from putting up a skyscraper above the historic Grand Central Terminal structure. Michelman's analysis relies on evaluating whether the nuisance costs and value to society were worth it.
