Abstract: The lead article, Land: Public Use and Regulation, by Francis X. Hezel, S.J., examines conflicts between private ownership and public needs. Opening with the case of a road closure in Pohnpei by landowners seeking increased compensation, it highlights disputes over right-of-way, easements, and compensation across the FSM.
Additional sections describe similar cases in Chuuk and Kosrae, commentaries from judges in the Marshall Islands on balancing customary rights with public interest, and references to land use policies under debate in Yap.
