Of Counsel, Norm Dupont Served As A Moderator For The American Bar Association's Podcast

This episode focuses on the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright Enterprises, Inc. v. Raimondo and its impact on administrative and environmental law. The discussion features Professor Lisa Heinzerling of Georgetown University Law, a leading scholar in environmental and administrative law, and John Cruden, a Principal at Beveridge & Diamond and former Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice's Environment and Natural Resources Division. The ABA podcast examines the Court’s 6-3 ruling in Loper Bright, which overturned the long-standing Chevron doctrine of deference to administrative agencies in cases of ambiguous federal laws and now requiring judges to determine the "best interpretation" of ambiguous laws. Moderated by Aleshire & Wynder’s Norm Dupont, this podcast features Professor Heinzerling providing context on the Chevron doctrine’s 40-year application and potential alternatives, while John Cruden discusses the implications for future cases from a private lawyer’s perspective. Together, they explore the broader effects on administrative agencies, environmental policy, and statutory interpretation.
