Episode #67
Today on Legalese, we are returning to a case that I have been covering from this Supreme Court Term as part of my annual Supreme Court Roundup.
Devillier v Texas is a Takings Clause case in which petitioner (Devillier) is seeking compensation after his ranch which was destroyed by the State of Texas when a highway construction project flooded his property.
On January 16th, oral arguments were made before the Court in this case and there is a lot to be learned from this round of arguments. Most importantly is that Devillier is shaping up to be a major and unequivocal victory for property rights!
