Abstract
This Note examines the measurement issue left unresolved by First English and Corrigan. It first discusses the general goals of the Just Compensation Clause of the fifth amendment. It follows with a brief overview of the facts and legal history of First English and Corrigan. Finally, it examines the possible measures suggested by the United States Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of Arizona. It offers no one optimal method of measuring damages for all temporary taking cases, but rather this Note discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each method in the context of the problems which persistently arise. It concludes that the courts should apply the measure that best advances the goals of Just Compensation in each individual case.
