Friday, February 21, 12–1 p.m., in collaboration with the Hennepin County Law Library
In Tyler v. Hennepin County (2023), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Minnesota’s practice of retaining surplus proceeds from tax-forfeited property sales violated the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause. This session will review Minnesota’s pre-Tyler law, the case’s progression through the courts, the Supreme Court’s ruling, subsequent legislative changes, and ongoing legal challenges.
