Clean Air Conversation Webinar
Register today for the next installment of Clean Air Conversations, a webinar series where we learn and discuss the complex issues surrounding climate change and air quality in California.
In 1984, the Supreme Court ruled that courts should defer to the expertise of agencies like the EPA in interpreting ambiguous policies and regulations. So expert scientists, accountable to elected officials, would make judgement calls on these matters. Now, forty years later, the Supreme Court has upended that standard and given judges the power to decide what these complex and technical rules mean.
Join us for an engaging discussion on the implications of the end of Chevron deference. We will explore how this shift affects the dynamic between courts and agencies in interpreting statutes. Gain insights into the future of regulatory decision-making.
