Reactions to the SCOTUS Administrative Law Decisions

The purpose of this session is to discuss the implications of the Loper Bright and Relentless decisions and discuss what, if anything, remains of deference to agency interpretations of statutes and how lower courts will interpret this opinion.  The panel will consider how the Major Questions Doctrine and the rule announced in Loper Bright and Relentless may interact in new regulatory litigation.  Panelists will also consider whether lessons learned from tracking and countering the MQD over the last two years can be applied to these decisions.

How to Defend Regulations in a post-Chevron world, and How to Help Agencies Remain Ambitious

  The panel will discuss generally applicable best strategies for defending agency actions, and focus specifically on how those strategies can be best put to use in the new world of administrative law following this term’s decisions.  The panelists will also consider whether courts will continue to recognize broad delegations of statutory authority, whether certain statutes should be read as delegating decisions to agencies using broad and capacious language, and how best to argue continued deference to scientific and other technical expertise.  The panel will also explore how we can help agencies remain ambitious and avoid having Loper Bright/Relentless produce a chilling effect.
