“What does this law mean?” Countless battles have been fought over this question. Just over a month ago, the Supreme Court issued its Loper decision, overturning the powerful 40-year-old Chevron doctrine on providing meaning to ambiguous laws. Now what?
This presentation aims to provide clarity in the engineering and environmental contexts on how to approach the question of interpreting laws. Participants can expect to learn about the Chevron doctrine and its impact in the environmental and engineering contexts, with a look at specific case studies and examples. More importantly though, this presentation will help participants understand how to navigate administrative laws in the environmental and engineering contexts going forward now that Supreme Court’s Loper decision overturned the analysis under Chevron. This presentation will also touch on other administrative law decisions made by the Supreme Court this session.
