The Fishing Case That Could Reel In Chevron

·32 min

Law 360 Pro Se Podcast hosts Alex Lawson and Haley Knoth discuss major legal developments without their usual host Amor McKinney. The episode covers three institutional scandals: 96-year-old federal judge Pauline Newman's one-year suspension after refusing mental fitness testing; Texas AG Ken Paxton's acquittal on all 16 impeachment articles despite some GOP defections; and a major law firm ethics scandal where Crowell & Mooring advised Walgreens on a discount drug program in 2008, then in 2017 circulated a memo to Humana soliciting lawsuits against Walgreens for the same program. The Crowell & Mooring story centers on a $642 million arbitration award to Humana, with allegations that the firm both switched sides ethically and had the arbitrator on its payroll. The hosts also discuss an upcoming Supreme Court case on Chevron deference that centers on a fishing industry rule but will determine the future of regulatory agency deference.
