Petitions to watch | Conference of April 27, 2012

At its April 27, 2012 Conference, the Court will consider such issues as whether gathering clothing is a Fourth Amendment search, compensation for a property’s “development potential” for a Fifth Amendment taking, supervisory liability for an Eighth Amendment violation, and the retroactivity of Padilla v. Kentucky.  This edition of “Petitions to watch” features petitions raising issues that Tom has determined to have a reasonable chance of being granted, although we post them here without consideration of whether they present appropriate vehicles in which to decide those issues.
