Shutdowns, Closures, Moratoria, and Bans

Understanding state law and legal challenges regarding COVID-19 emergency orders

November 10, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. EST / 12:00 p.m. PST

Virtual via Zoom

This event is co-hosted by Pacific Legal Foundation and Owners’ Counsel of America

Governors and state legislatures across the country have implemented an array of policies in an attempt to contain the virus and its socioeconomic impacts. Many of these policies broadened the scope of government power while placing a heavy burden on property owners and businesses already struggling with the pandemic.

Join representatives from Pacific Legal Foundation and Owners’ Counsel of America as they explore COVID-related policies and the legal challenges to them, including:

  • The constitutionality of emergency eviction moratoria and lockdown orders restricting property and business owners
  • The rights and legal status of property and business owners impacted by emergency orders
  • Past, current, and upcoming litigation challenging these orders

We want to hear from you! Come prepared with your questions for our panelists. This is a public event. Please pass along this invitation to any colleagues that may be interested in this program.
