/attachments/wysiwyg/9/article.pdfIn this paper, I will attempt to briefly discuss elements of the Special Commissioners Hearing experience from an appraiser's viewpoint.  In an Eminent Doman Special Commissioners Hearing involving the taking of real estate, the spotlight is usually on the appraiser as the expert witness charged with explaining how and why value is derived.  Although other expers are many times involved, which might include land planners, architects, engineers, contractors, and/or property owners, it it the appraiser who typically brings all information, analysis, and assumptions together to formulate market value, as the basis for Just compensation.  The role of an experienced Eminent Doman lawyer is always paramount to the success of any case; however, the importance of the appraiser's report and testimony at a Special Commissioners Hearing, can never be downplayed.
