PLF UNANIMOUSLY WINS 8TH STRAIGHT IN U.S. SUPREME COURT!

Moments ago the Supreme Court delivered a major property rights victory to Pacific Legal Foundation client, Kevin Pierce, and to millions of other property owners in PLF's challenge, United States Army Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes Co., Inc. 

In PLF's eighth consecutive victory at the High Court, in a unanimous opinion, the justices agreed with PLF's arguments that landowners have a right to seek judicial review when their property is designated as wetlands subject to federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.
 
PLF has issued this news release with a statement from PLF Principal Attorney M. Reed Hopper, who argued the case on March 30 and describes today's ruling as an "historic victory" for all property owners. We also have a statement from Kevin Pierce, vice president of the Hawkes Company, a family-owned and operated business in Marshall County, Minnesota that provides peat for golf courses and other sports turf applications.
