Agricultural Regulation and Litigation

Iowa Lawyers Chapter

Speakers: 

  • James Coleman, Assistant Professor, University of Calgary
  • Christina Gruenhagen, Government Relations Counsel, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
  • Josh Mandelbaum, Staff Attorney, Environmental Law & Policy Center

 
Recent events have reminded us of the important impact of the law on agriculture in Iowa. From the Des Moines Water Works lawsuit against three rural Iowa counties over water quality, to California’s regulation of egg production and recent litigation seeking to order the EPA to regulate “factory farm air pollution,” a number of hot legal issues may directly affect Iowa’s agricultural economy, environment, and quality of life.  Join the Iowa Lawyers Chapters of the Federalist Society and a distinguished panel of experts to discuss the fascinating intersection of law and agriculture.  A reception will follow.
