Timbs v. Indiana One Year Later: The Future of Civil Asset Forfeiture

March 6, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm

The University of Alabama School of Law is hosting a symposium on Friday, March 6 in the Bedsole Moot Court Room. The symposium, Timbs v. Indiana One Year Later: The Future of Civil Asset Forfeiture, will explore the consequences of the U.S. Supreme Court case. In its landmark 2019 opinion, Timbs v. Indiana, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Eighth Amendment’s Excessive Fines Clause is an incorporated protection applicable to the states and may, as a result, regulate state civil asset forfeiture. This symposium will feature three panel discussions with prominent law professors and practitioners and a keynote address from Wesley Hottot, the senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, who argued the Timbs case before the U.S. Supreme Court.
