August 15: Litigation After Loper: Effects on Agency Practice

The U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in Loper Bright v. Raimondo changed the deference courts give to agencies—and in turn, how solid agency regulations are when they’re passed. Join us to discuss the impact of this case, the overrule of Chevron deference, and the effect Loper will have on legal practice involving federal agencies. Our panelists will discuss the new opinions, their practice past and present, and the legal standards going forward.
Learning objectives include:
- Understand the new legal standard when agency actions are challenged in court, under Loper
- Discuss strategy and practical effects on attorneys who focus on compliance or litigation involving federal agencies
- Discuss potential applications of the new precedent by lower courts looking forward
Who would benefit most from attending this program?
- Litigators who regularly engage in litigation involving federal agencies in court
- Attorneys focused on federal regulatory compliance issues
