Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo is a recent Supreme Court case in which Chief Justice Roberts authored a 6-2 opinion overruling the doctrine of Chevron deference. The decision, which states that courts “must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority,” is expected to have a significant impact on how federal agencies administer government entitlement and benefit programs.

Join James Hardwick, adjunct professor of law and staff attorney for the Veterans Law Practicum at the Law School, along with Danielle Bernard, adjunct professor of Law at Cornell Law School; Jeff Rachlinski, Henry Allen Mark Professor of Law at Cornell Law School; Benjamin Pomerance, deputy counsel for the NYS Department of Veteran Services; and Eric Gang, founding partner of Gang & Associates, as they discuss the far-reaching implications of the Loper Bright case, and how this decision will impact laws governing veterans’ rights and benefits.

The discussion will also include a brief update about the Veterans Law Practicum, highlighting its ongoing efforts to assist veterans and the practical benefits of these initiatives.
