Joseph v. City of Burlington

Whether the Federal Aviation Act preempts all state and local general land-use regulation aimed at addressing off-site airport noise, as the Vermont Supreme Court and other state high courts have held, or whether it preempts only those state and local general land-use regulations that conflict with federal law or intrude into a preempted field in their scope and effect, as the Second Circuit and several other federal courts of appeals and state high courts have held.
