1. Whether a Legislature's Closing of Landlord-Tenant Court Violates Access to the Court
2. Whether Fundamental Rights of Property are Fundamental Rights Warranting Strict Scrutiny
3. Whether the Withdrawal of Possessory Remedy Against a Lessee in Breach of Contract Violates the Contract Clause
4. Whether Knick v. Township of Scott, 588 U.S. (2019) Abolished Declaratory or Injunctive Relief for a Continuous Taking
5. Whether Suspension of a Homeowner's Right to Possess or Exclude is a Taking of Property
