ACS Presents: Upending Environmental Protection: West Virginia v. EPA and the Future of the Administrative State

Please join ACS' NYU, Northwestern, and UChicago chapters on Tuesday, March 1st at 1:00 p.m. ET for a panel discussion of the pending Supreme Court case West Virginia v. EPA, which conservative law professor Jonathan Adler has said "could well become one of the most significant environmental law cases of all time.” 

The case challenges the authority of Congress to delegate broad regulatory power to the EPA to control greenhouse gas emissions. What does this mean for the future of the environmental regulations and the administrative state? 

We are excited to welcome Kirti Datla, Director of Strategic Legal Advocacy at Earthjustice, Alison Gocke, Harry A. Bigelow Teaching Fellow and Lecturer in Law at UChicago Law, Heidi Kitrosser, Jack N. Pritzker Visiting Professor of Law at Northwestern Law, and Noah Rosenblum, Assistant Professor of Law at NYU Law.

The panelists will discuss the meaning of the case for the climate agenda, environmental legislation, and the work of regulatory agencies, as well as its impact on the future of environmental litigation. 

Please RSVP here. The zoom link can be accessed here.

For background on the case please consider reading Elizabeth Kolbert's New Yorker article: 'The Supreme Court Case That Could Upend Efforts to Protect the Environment'"

We hope to see you there!
