Celeste Hammond, director of the Center for Real Estate Law at the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, said in a written preview of the case for the American Bar Association that both sides viewed the dispute as significant for two reasons.

Since ancient times, people have settled on the banks of rivers because the river not only provided a supply of water but they also were trade routes. Settlements along rivers are the settlements that often flourished and grew into major cities. Examples of such settlements include Cairo located on the Nile, London on the Thames and Paris on the Seine.
