The FCBA Judicial Practice Committee will sponsor a CLE on Wednesday, February 5, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET entitled Cutting Edge Issues in FCC Litigation. The program will be held virtually via the Zoom platform.
Changes are afoot with litigation related to the FCC—even beyond Loper-Bright and the deference questions we’ve all heard so much about. In this CLE, the Judicial Practice Committee is presenting panels on two of the most timely issues.
The first panel will discuss how the change in Administration will affect challenges to FCC rulemakings. We will discuss what the new Administration can do if it doesn’t agree with earlier-enacted rules, including refusing to defend those rules; invoking the Congressional Review Act, and promulgating new rules.
The second panel will focus on how the Hobbs Act applies in collateral challenges to FCC rules. The Supreme Court is hearing oral argument on this question on January 21, 2025, in McLaughlin v. McKesson, No. 23-1226, and we have put together an all-star panel to discuss why this issue matters; the arguments on both sides of the issue; and the oral argument in the Court.
The FCBA will apply for 2.0 hours of MCLE credit from the VA Bar. This program has not yet been approved.
