Administrative law revolution: how recent supreme court decisions will impact environmental regulation & planning

In recent years, the Supreme Court has issued a number of decisions that are going to have a dramatic impact on environmental law.  In 2024, the Court’s Loper Bright decision overturned the longstanding doctrine of Chevron deference to agencies on interpretation of statutory terms.  This webinar will address the elimination of Chevron deference as well as several other key decisions and developments that impact how federal agencies issue regulations and other decisions and how they enforce and defend those actions in court.  It will also look ahead to two environmental cases on the Supreme Court’s docket later this year that may continue the trend of placing limits on agency authority.
