About Our Section

The section also reviews and responds to pending legislation affecting federal court practice.

    Wood n' Tap
    99 Sisson Ave
    Hartford

    The evening will begin with networking from 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm, followed by a one-hour panel presentation exploring the Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright, its doctrinal shift away from Chevron deference, and how courts, agencies, and practitioners have navigated this new landscape in the past year and a half, particularly in the employment and labor contexts. Our panelists will discuss the impact of Loper Bright on EEOC, DOL, and NLRB guidance, early post-Loper Bright decisions and emerging judicial trends/approaches, and what may lie ahead for administrative and employment law.
