Take a deep dive into the arguments and amicus briefs
This Wednesday, April 26, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Tyler v. Hennepin County, No. 22-166, our law firm’s case which argues that Hennepin County’s keeping the excess value in Ms. Tyler’s home over what she owed in property taxes and fees, is an uncompensated taking of private property, and also violates the Excessive Fines Clause.
Here are links to programs, summaries, and events to help you understand the arguments and issues, as well as registration for post-argument analysis:

- The same day as the arguments at 2pm Eastern Time, the Federalist Society will hold a “Courthouse Steps” program, at which Ms. Martin will provide her thoughts on the arguments. Register here.
- For those of you in the Beltway, at 4:30pm Eastern Time on the day of argument, PLF will host “Home Equity Theft at the Supreme Court,” an in-person program at the Top of the Hill Banquet & Conference Center, in Washington, D.C.

We’ll put up more links and materials over the next few days. But again, because this is one of our firm’s cases, we won’t be commenting that much (other than Go Christina and Geraldine! (Tyler)).
