Some Upcoming Talks

Just a quick post to note some upcoming talks and presentations.

• This Friday, February 13, I will be presenting my paper “Conservation Commandeering” at the Pacific Legal Foundation/Catholic University Law Review symposium, “Searching for Constitutional Limits on Environmental &
  Natural Resources Law,” a tthe Columbus School of Law at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. In this paper I explain why the imposition of vicarious liability on state and local governments under the Endangered Species Act often violates the anti-commandeering principle.
• On Wednesday, February 25, I will be participating in the Harvard Law School Rappaport Forum: “The Docket That Shall Not Be Named – The Supreme Court’s Emergency Orders.” This event is an exchange with Professor Kate Shaw, moderated by Professor Richard Re.
• On Friday, March 27, I’ll be back at Harvard Law School for the symposium, “Reflecting on the Future of Environmental Law One Year Into Trump 2.0.” co-sponsored by the HLS Environmental and Energy Law Program and the Harvard Environmental Law Review. I will be presenting a draft paper, tentatively titled “Unsustainable Assertions of Executive Power,” with commentary from Professors Thomas Merrill and Thomas McGarity.
