Jill S. Gelineau, Esq., Shareholder, Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt

Gelineau will speak on a panel focusing upon international property rights jurisprudence and the ways in which the property rights opinions of international courts have strengthened democracy and human rights and reduced global conflict.  Panelists will discuss the role of the International Court of Justice in settling national boundary disputes, the reparations and criminal forfeiture provisions of the International Criminal Court, and the property rights opinions of the European Court of Human Rights.

The Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference has been held annually since 2004 and is renowned for its dynamic panel discussions featuring legal scholars, judges, and practicing attorneys.  Each year, the Conference awards the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize to an individual whose work has made a significant contribution to the field of property rights scholarship. This year, Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto, President of the Institute of Liberty and Democracy (ILD), will be honored.  The Property Rights Conference and Prize are named in recognition of attorneys Toby Prince Brigham and Gideon Kanner for their lifetime contributions to defending the rights of private property owners and their accomplishments in preserving the important role that property rights plays in protecting individual and civil rights.    

Throughout her extensive legal career, Jill Gelineau has focused upon representing property owners when a government entity wishes to take their private property using the power of eminent domain. She has litigated many complex and high-profile matters in both state and federal court throughout Oregon and Washington, including the successful representation of the Dolan family following the U.S. Supreme Court remand of Dolan v. City of Tigard, 512 U.S. 374 (1994). ​
