Justices Rule Federal Mineral Rights Supersede State Law
The Supreme Court unanimously overturned a Fifth Circuit ruling, affirming that federal mineral rights prevail on federal lands even when state law is violated. The case centered on the Lacassine Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana, a 12 625 acre waterfowl sanctuary acquired under the Migratory Bird Conservation Act. The deed promised mineral rights if the seller did not renew claims or drill, a condition the government asserted had lapsed. Little Lake Misere Land Co Inc argued state law kept mineral rights, but the court rejected that claim.
