Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute joined with Frontier Institute in filing an amicus brief in Held v. Montana, calling on the Montana Supreme Court to leave environmental policy-making to the legislative branch—the branch of government designed to balance competing public interests. “The real question raised by this case is what role the courts should play in developing public policies to address global climate change. The answer is none.”

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear El Papel v. Seattle and tell the city of Seattle that it must compensate landlords for taking their property when the city ordered a temporary eviction ban, even for non-paying renters. In its brief, The Buckeye Institute argues that the right to exclude—to say who can and cannot live on your property—is a fundamental element of property rights protected by the Fifth Amendment.

Leave a Comment / Press Releases /

Attorneys at The Buckeye Institute who represent Josh Schaad in Schaad v. Alder reacted to the Ohio Supreme Court’s ruling in this important case. “The court’s ruling is disappointing. Local taxing authorities should be able to tax only within their own jurisdictions—where people live and actually perform the work. There will be other opportunities for the Ohio Supreme Court to recognize those limitations.”

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed its third amicus brief in Murthy v. Missouri (previously Missouri v. Biden), calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the preliminary injunction and stop the federal government from “jawboning” social media companies to censor viewpoints the government does not agree with. “The First Amendment stands as a bulwark against the government’s position that it can squelch public discourse, whether through direct influence or less obvious methods such as ‘jawboning.’”

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in West v. Cincinnati urging Ohio’s First District Court of Appeals to uphold the lower court’s ruling that correctly interpreted the constitutionality of the state’s preemption law. While noting that there are legitimate debates about policies requiring firearm handling and storage techniques, The Buckeye Institute argues in its brief that this case is about Ohio’s firearms preemption law, which the Ohio Supreme Court found to be constitutional in Cleveland v. Ohio.
