Abstract

A trio of cases pending before the Supreme Court has the potential to significantly alter the role of federal agencies in making and enforcing regulations. Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy raises constitutional challenges to administrative adjudication of SEC enforcement actions. In Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless Inc. v. Department of Commerce, the Court will decide whether to overturn Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Counsel and limit deference to agency interpretations of statutes. Our expert panel will discuss the legal framework and arguments raised in these cases, as well as their impressions from the oral arguments and insights on how the outcomes will affect environmental law.
