Tuesday, July 30 (12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. ET)

The first panel will address Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. In Loper Bright, the Supreme Court “overruled” Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council and held that the Administrative Procedure Act “incorporates the traditional understanding of the judicial function, under which courts must exercise independent judgment in determining the meaning of statutory provisions.”

  • Abbe Gluck, Yale Law School and Yale Medical School 
  • Elbert Lin, Hunton Andrew Kurth LLP 
  • Victoria Nourse, Georgetown University Law Center

Tuesday, July 30 (1:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. ET)

The second panel will address Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy. In Jarkesy, the Supreme Court held that “the Seventh Amendment entitles a defendant to a jury trial when the SEC seeks civil penalties against him for securities fraud.” 

Participants: 

  • Jennifer Dickey, U.S. Chamber Litigation Center 
  • Jeffrey Lubbers, American University Washington College of Law 
  • Christopher Walker, University of Michigan Law School 

Moderator:

Panel 4: Ohio v. EPA
