• 10:30 a.m. - "Chevron Overruled: What the Supreme Court's Decision Means for Environmental Rules," Jennifer Cave, Member, Chair of the firm's Environmental, Energy & Sustainability Service Group, Stites & Harbison, PLLC: On June 28, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo overturned the 40-year-old Chevron doctrine, which required courts to defer to EPA's reasonable interpretations of ambiguous statutes. In the months since Chevron's fall, a clearer picture has emerged of what a post-Loper Bright administrative state may look like for federal (and state) environmental law. This presentation will discuss these cases and how it will impact environmental law and compliance for decades to come.
