Sessions Description

  • Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Trump v. Wilcox mark a historic reorientation of the regulatory state toward greater scrutiny of federal agencies, accompanied by reduced independence. This panel will explore how law faculty, in particular those teaching labor law, employment law, and employment discrimination law, frame the new reality in the classroom. Issues include interpretative authority of the National Labor Relations Board, Department of Labor, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; future agency decision making and policymaking; and judicial disfavor toward executive-branch interpretations. Finally, how will legal uncertainty and political instability affect state and local agencies’ role in workplace regulation?
