Clean Power Plan in the Court

Environmental Law & Property Rights Practice Group Teleforum

On September 27, 2016, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral argument in West Virginia, et al. v. EPA, a case testing the constitutionality of the Clean Power Plan. Among two procedural peculiarities (the U.S. Supreme Court has granted a stay in the implementation of the Plan, and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has, sua sponte, decided to hear the case en banc without a prior three-judge panel), the case includes myriad federalism and separation of powers issues. Our experts will discuss the primary issues in the case – the balance of power between the federal and state governments, and the separation of powers within the federal government.

Featuring:

  • David Bookbinder, Founding Member, Element VI Consulting
  • David B. Rivkin, Jr., Partner, Baker & Hostetler LLP
