Liskow attorneys John Parker, Trinity Morale, and Michael Ishee were featured in The Foundation for Natural Resources and Energy Law's latest issue of their Mineral and Energy Law Newsletter, Vol. 43 No. 2 2026. Our Louisiana-based attorneys contributed articles regarding litigation updates for the state.

Their first article, “U.S. Supreme Court Grants Unanimous Decision in Landmark Oil and Gas Case, Authorizing Removal in the Louisiana Gulf Coast Land Loss Cases," details a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court ruling and how it broadens federal officer removal rights in Louisiana coastal land loss litigation, potentially paving the way for dozens of high-stakes cases to move to federal court. The second article, “Louisiana Supreme Court Deems Public Port Taking of Property to Lease to an LNG Facility Is Not a Public Purpose," discusses a Louisiana Supreme Court ruling that public port authorities cannot expropriate private property solely to lease it to a private company for LNG development, reinforcing constitutional limits on takings for private use.
