review: Editorial Reviews Review This book fills a void in the literature. Here we have in one highly readable volume all of the issues of planning for and regulating group homes, with a comprehensive treatment of the law, of course, but also good, practical advice and even draft regulations. -- Patricia E. Salkin, dean and professor of law, Touro College, Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center Even as a practitioner with four decades in the trenches, I'm impressed at how much I learned from Group Homes. Brian Connolly and Dwight Merriam have succeeded in distilling a large body of law and literature into a book that will serve local government, advocates, and neighbors well. -- Edward J. Sullivan, chair of the Land Use Department, Garvey Schubert Barer I have my perspective as an advocate for group home development, and I do not agree with all the authors have to say, but I must tell you that Group Homes is the best, most balanced treatment of the law, public policy, planning, and regulation for group homes. -- Steven G. Polin, general counsel, Oxford House About the Author Brian J. Connolly is an associate with the Land Use practice group at Otten Johnson Robinson Neff & Ragonetti, P.C., in Denver, Co. Dwight H. Merriam founded Robinson & Cole's Land Use Group in 1978.
