Participants will examine emerging trends in federal regulatory enforcement both from the agency perspective as well as the client perspective. The program begins with an overview of federal regulatory enforcement actions, including “everything you need to know” in a lecture by Professor Alan Morrison of Stanford University. To provide illustration of the key points, participants will review a case study based on the Food and Drug Administration’s ban on ephedrine-alkaloid dietary supplements and the industry’s challenge to this rulemaking. The multiple facets of the rulemaking and the ensuing litigation will be analyzed from the perspective of the agency, the industry and the public interest sector. Program participants will be afforded an opportunity to discuss the impact and fallout from this enforcement measure in small group discussions led by those who participated in the events. The program will close with a look at the new trend in global settlements, as currently being utilized by the Environmental Protection Agency.
