Webcast looks at Supreme Court property rights cases

American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education will present a webcast on “How Did Property Rights Fare at the Supreme Court? What Happened in the 2022 Term and What’s Next” on Wednesday, August 9, from 1 to 2 p.m.

This has been a blockbuster U.S. Supreme Court term for property law, with the Court deciding three major property cases: Tyler v. Hennepin County (government’s keeping the excess value when seizing and selling a home to satisfy a property tax debt is a taking), Wilkins v. United States (is the federal Quiet Title Act’s statute of limitations a jurisdictional bar?), and Sackett v. EPA (the scope of Clean Water Act wetlands jurisdiction).

To gain a better understanding of these opinions, the current state of takings and property law, and what these cases mean for a law practice, a panel of experts will discuss the high court’s cases during the webcast. The faculty will also explore what these decisions mean for the future and what steps lawyers can take to incorporate these decisions into their practices.

A faculty composed of academics and private practitioners – including the director of property rights at the firm that litigated all three cases – will discuss:

• What happened in each case and how the court ruled

• The practical consequences of the decisions

• What new rules practitioners must understand

• What Sackett means for the efforts to define “Waters of the United States”

• How courts will treat the question of “what is the property” in takings and eminent domain litigation

• How you can avoid statute of limitations problems

• Where the Supreme Court might be going next and what issues remain open

Questions will be submitted live to the faculty and all registrants will receive downloadable course materials to accompany the program.

This continuing legal education webcast will benefit any land use, zoning, or real estate lawyer or jurist—particularly those who may be involved in a property
rights dispute; appraisers; property valuation consultants; constitutional law experts; and municipal/local government lawyers.

Cost for the webcast is $199. To register, visit www.ali-cle.org.
