As oral argument in Murr v. State of Wisconsin draws closer, media coverage is ramping up. The Washington Times featured an op-ed by PLF Senior Attorney Dave Breemer on the case, and Pioneer Press published an op-ed by PLF client Mike Murr on the upcoming argument. This week's episode of Courting Liberty also featured a conversation between PLF's Vice President of Litigation James Burling and PLF's Executive Vice President and General Counsel John Groen, who will be presenting the oral argument on March 20.
Mike Murr also spoke about what it was like finding out that his family's property rights case against St. Croix County and the State of Wisconsin would be heard in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in the video below.

PLF's upcoming Supreme Court oral argument in Murr v. State of Wisconsin was previewed on Behind the Headlines with Mark Hyman this week. Represented by PLF, the Murr family has fought all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to stop bureaucrats from robbing them of a family legacy ----- a vacant parcel along the St. Croix River in Wisconsin that their late parents purchased in the early 1960s as a family investment.

The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected San Francisco's attempt to scuttle a major PLF court victory for the city's landlords. At issue was PLF's federal district court victory in 2014 over the city's since-repealed Tenant Relocation Ordinance, a confiscatory law that barred landlords from removing their units from the rental market unless they paid huge sums to their tenants. "The Ninth Circuit was correct not to let the city draw it into a pointless decision on a law that is long gone," said PLF Senior Attorney Dave Breemer. "Moreover, everyone who values property rights should be glad that Judge Breyer's decision, with its powerful analysis and application of constitutional protections, was left undisturbed."
