Jeremy Talcott is an attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation. His litigation work focuses on the fundamental rights of landowners to use and develop their property. He leads the Coastal Land Rights Project, which puts him routinely at odds with the California Coastal Commission.

Jeremy obtained his undergraduate degree in communications from the University of Central Florida. He graduated cum laude from Chapman University, Fowler School of Law in Orange, California, where he was president of the Federalist Society, senior articles editor of the Chapman Law Review, and “that guy who keeps trying to talk about the Constitution” on the Chapman moot court team. His two favorite parts of law school were externing for Judge Andrew J. Guilford in the Central District of California and getting the top grade in administrative law from his favorite professor.

Some of Jeremy’s career highlights at PLF include forcing the mayor of Mount Dora, Florida to publicly apologize for the city’s vendetta against the owners of a home painted like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” and obtaining an opinion ordering just compensation for the owners of a small offshore island in Florida after government regulations stripped all economic uses of the property.

Pacific Legal Foundation is a public interest law firm that defends Americans’ liberties when threatened by government overreach and abuse. They have been fighting for freedom since 1973 and have brought over 20 cases to the Supreme Court and won 18 victories. Mr. Talcott will discuss the highlights of some of those cases. Also, he will discuss his pending case against the California Coastal Commission at the California Supreme Court.
