The Fishing Case That Could Reel In Chevron
Listen now
Description
A dispute over a relatively obscure fishing industry rule is attracting considerable buzz ahead of the upcoming Supreme Court term, as the justices will consider whether to overturn their decades-old precedent providing leeway to federal regulators. The so-called Chevron deference requires courts to defer to agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous laws, and has been a target for mostly conservative activists who fear it gives the executive branch too much power. Joining Pro Say this week is Law360’s senior environmental reporter Juan Carlos Rodriguez, who will break down the case and what’s at stake for this administrative law bedrock. Also this week, Walgreens accuses Crowell & Moring of serious ethical breaches in a nine-figure arbitration fight, and lawsuits roll in after the FDA declares that over-the-counter decongestants don’t do too much decongesting.
