Brian D. Israel of Arnold & Porter LLP Speaker 5a: 8
Illinois Central R.R. v. Illinois
(U.S. Supreme Court 1892)
The public trust is “for the people of the state,
that they may enjoy the navigation of the waters,
carry on commerce over them, and have liberty
of fishing therein . . . .”
“The State can no more abdicate its trust over
property in which the whole people are
interested . . . than it can abdicate its police
powers in the administration of government and
the preservation of the peace.”
