IRS990/Description0LEGAL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTSPACIFIC LEGAL FOUNDATION'S LEGAL PROGRAM HAS A SINGULAR MISSION: TO USE THE COURTS THROUGHOUT THE NATION TO PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND OUR LIBERTIES FROM OVERREACHING GOVERNMENT. WE LITIGATE TO PROTECT PROPERTY RIGHTS, PRESERVE ECONOMIC FREEDOMS, DEMAND A BALANCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATIONS, SUPPORT A SYSTEM OF LIMITED GOVERNMENT, AND ENSURE THAT GOVERNMENT TREATS ALL AMERICANS EQUALLY.HERE ARE HIGHLIGHTS OF 2011 PROGRESS IN ALL OF THESE FOUR AREAS:ARDENTLY DEFENDING PROPERTY RIGHTS:PACIFIC LEGAL FOUNDATION HAS EARNED A NATIONAL REPUTATION FOR FIGHTING AND WINNING MAJOR PROPERTY RIGHTS VICTORIES, INCLUDING SEVERAL AT THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. PLF CHALLENGES REGULATORY SHAKEDOWNS, ZONING SCHEMES, AND EMINENT DOMAIN AND COASTAL LAND RIGHTS ABUSES. PLF'S LITIGATION HAS BECOME MORE ESSENTIAL IN RECENT YEARS BECAUSE OF A DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS TREND: COURTS FREQUENTLY TREAT PROPERTY AS A "THING" THAT IS SUBJECT TO REDUCTION AND THE OWNER'S ASSOCIATED RIGHTS IN THAT PROPERTY AS ENTITLEMENTS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT LIMITATION.SEVERANCE V. PATTERSON - A MAJOR VICTORY FOR CAROL SEVERANCE AND OTHER COASTAL LANDOWNERS IN TEXAS WAS ACHIEVED WHEN A DECISION BY THE FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS LEFT IN PLACE A FAVORABLE RULING BY THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT REJECTING THE STATE'S CLAIM THAT BEACH EASEMENTS "ROLL" WITH THE VEGETATION LINE. THIS CASE WAS A MAJOR TEST OF THE TEXAS OPEN BEACHES ACT - A 50-YEAR-OLD LAW - TO SEIZE PRIVATE BEACH LAND AND HOMES FOR A "PUBLIC" BEACH WHEN STORMS BLOW AWAY THE VEGETATION OR MOVE THE VEGETATION LINE LANDWARD.STERLING V. CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION - PLF TWICE DEFEATED THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION'S ATTEMPT TO IMPOSE ILLEGAL CONDITIONS ON DAN AND DENISE STERLING'S PLAN TO BUILD A HOME ON THEIR PROPERTY NEAR HALF MOON BAY. THE SAN MATEO COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT RULED THE COMMISSION'S ATTEMPT TO REQUIRE THE STERLINGS TO DEDICATE AN AGRICULTURAL EASEMENT TO THE STATE, REQUIRING 143 ACRES OF THEIR LAND TO BE FARMED FOREVER, CONSTITUTED AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAKING. WHEN REGULATORS TRIED TO IMPOSE A BROAD OPEN SPACE DEED RESTRICTION ON THE STERLINGS, PLF SUCCESSFULLY CONVINCED THE COURT THAT THE COMMISSION'S DEMANDS WERE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. SDS FAMILY TRUST V. CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION - THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS IMPORTANT PROPERTY RIGHTS CASE WAS DENIED, SO THE CASE WILL PROCEED TO TRIAL. PLF ATTORNEYS REPRESENT THREE SISTERS WHO OWN LAND THROUGH A FAMILY TRUST ESTABLISHED BY THEIR LATE FATHER. THEY SEEK PERMISSION FOR SOME BASIC REPAIR WORK ON THEIR PROPERTY NEAR CAYUCOS IN AN UNINCORPORATED AREA OF SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, BUT THE COMMISSION IS WITHHOLDING PERMIT APPROVAL UNTIL THE SISTERS AGREE TO GIVE THE STATE A PUBLIC EASEMENT 25 TO 50 FEET WIDE RUNNING THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE PROPERTY.ROBERT MERRILL, TRUSTEE, AND HOMER TAFT V. STATE OF OHIO - THE OHIO SUPREME COURT RULED FOR LAKE ERIE'S LAKEFRONT PROPERTY OWNERS AND SOUNDLY REJECTED A BID BY ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS AND THE STATE OF OHIO TO GRAB SHORELINE PROPERTY UNDER THE PUBLIC TRUST DOCTRINE. IN RECENT YEARS THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES HAS BEGUN ASSERTING THAT THE STRIP OF LAND ALONG LAKE ERIE, BETWEEN THE WATER'S EDGE AND THE HIGH-WATER MARK, IS NOT PRIVATE LAND AS HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNDERSTOOD. INSTEAD, THE STATE ASSERTS THAT THE STRIP OF LAND IS PART OF A PUBLIC TRUST, WHICH CAME INTO EXISTENCE WHEN OHIO ENTERED THE UNION. THE LANDOWNERS FILED A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN 2004, SEEKING DECLARATORY RELIEF. THEY RECEIVED A FAVORABLE JUDGMENT IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS AND THE DECISION WAS UPHELD BY AN OHIO APPELLATE COURT. PLF FILED AN AMICUS AT THE OHIO STATE SUPREME COURT IN SUPPORT OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS. THE SUPREME COURT REACHED THE CONCLUSION THAT STATE OWNERSHIP OF THE LAKE EXTENDS ONLY TO THE POINT WHERE THE WATER NORMALLY TOUCHES THE SHORE.TOMCZAK V. WASHINGTON STATE DEPT.
