Here are the final two amicus briefs supporting the petitioner in Marvin M. Brandt Revocable Trust v. United States, No. 12-1173 (cert. granted Oct. 1, 2013). That’s the case in which the Court is considering the meaning of the term railroad “right of way” as used in an 1875 federal statute. As our amici brief argues, if the Court accepts the government’s theory in the case, it could wipe out an entire class of rails-to-trails takings cases.
Next up, the government’s merits brief.
