✅ PROGRESS: We received a favorable Second Circuit decision in our longest-running K-12 discrimination case, involving New York City's specialized high schools. The panel unanimously reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment, holding that we had sufficiently shown a discriminatory effect and now are entitled to seek discovery into whether the City's policy was motivated by discriminatory intent. TLDR; while New York City has been treating students as tokens for racial groups, the Second Circuit’s ruling recognizes them as individuals—none of whom should be denied opportunities on the basis of race. That's a "W", not just for our clients, but for any individual who is discriminatorily barred from an opportunity by a racially motivated law or policy. https://lnkd.in/emczqBtp

Pay a $20,134 “inclusionary housing” fee or forfeit a chunk of land to the city of Healdsburg, CA. Those were the only options for the Pilling family, who wanted to build a bigger home for their growing family. It's extortion—and it's unconstitutional. With our help, the Pillings are suing Healdsburg. If courts adhere to Supreme Court precedents on this issue—most of them won by PLF—they’ll strike down Healdsburg’s unconstitutional permitting process ⚔️ https://lnkd.in/eVJ-Y6xx

Before we uncovered home equity theft, families were losing their homes over $8 in property tax debt. Now, as jurisdictions reform their laws in the wake of our Tyler victory at the Supreme Court, the number of dollars stolen will dwindle to zero 🏡❤️ https://lnkd.in/eEZzJV4V #HomeEquityTheft #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS

"This case may give the Supreme Court its best chance to address proxy discrimination in admissions, and the Court should take it." TDLR: Boston’s venerable “Exam Schools” assessed prospective students based on rigorous criteria––until the Boston School Committee and BPS administrators said the schools enrolled too many Asian-American and white students. Boston parents hope the facts of this case will spur the Supreme Court to preserve the promise of the Harvard decision. https://lnkd.in/eQmMvkuP #SCOTUS #SupremeCourt #ProxyDiscrimination #RacialEquity #AdmissionsCriteria

If a regulatory agency believes you have violated a statute or a regulation, it can haul you before its own biased tribunal, in which you could face crushing fines and the prospect of losing your home, business, or livelihood. In short, if you find yourself in one of these government tribunals, you’re very likely to lose. Through litigation and legislative reform, we are fighting to return the adjudicative process to where it belongs: real, constitutional courts. #AgencyAdjudication

The "federal-courts-would-be-overwhelmed-without-agency-adjudication" argument is wrong. Agency adjudication risks dire injustice and dismantles the Constitution’s checks and balances. It must be addressed, and our new report shows how. https://lnkd.in/ezU_NTrG #agencyadjudication #seventhamendment #jurytrial

⚔️ WIN ⚔️ The Nebraska Supreme Court has ruled to protect property owners' right to their hard-earned equity that was unconstitutionally taken from them. This is a huge win for two Pacific Legal Foundation clients, Kevin Fair and Sandra Nieveen, as well as for countless other Nebraskans. Every day, we get closer a future where there are no victims of home equity theft. #propertyrights #homeequitytheft https://lnkd.in/ewic4pen
