Advantage CLE: Yellowstone and Eminent Domain: Separating Myth from Reality at the Dutton Ranch

June 10, 2025

12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. CDT

Whether you binge watched Yellowstone or not, this presentation is for anyone interested in learning more about a government’s ability to take private property for public use. No knowledge of Jamie’s complicated relationship with John, Beth’s aggressive tactics, or Casey’s trauma needed! Eminent domain practitioners from multiple states will discuss the various statements made about eminent domain in the hit show Yellowstone, and explain which statements are grounded in reality and which ones just make for good TV. This session addresses the general concept of eminent domain and hit on some state-specific issues from the show under multiple state laws including Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, and Arizona.

Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits are pending in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. CLE credit application and approval processes vary per state and may not be available after certain state deadlines. Please email education@spencerfane.com if you have questions about credits.
