Regulation in Litigation: Impact on Consumer Cases of Overruling “Chevron Deference”

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, eliminated the doctrine known as “Chevron deference.” Under that doctrine, courts considering challenges to agency action deferred to the agency’s statutory interpretation, if the statute did not answer the question and the agency’s statutory reading view was reasonable.  

The absence of Chevron deference may transform how federal agencies evaluate and issue regulations, and even how Congress drafts legislation. But how does it affect attorneys representing consumers in private cases? This webinar will discuss the breadth and limitations of Loper Bright on judicial review of agency action, as well as the implications for evaluating, strategizing, and litigating consumer law cases.

Participants are invited to submit questions in advance.
