Program Overview:
On April 2, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, by a 5-4 vote, that EPA has authority to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles. The Court remanded the case to EPA.  This teleconference will discuss the implications of the decision: What will happen at EPA, and when? How will the decision affect other industries?  How will pending litigation be affected, and will new lawsuits be spawned? What do lawyers need to tell their clients in preparing for future carbon regulation?

Educational Objectives:

• Bring participants up to date on recent case law.
• Inform participants of potential implications of decision for:
• EPA regulations
• The role of the courts in climate change issues
• Likely Congressional and state actions
