Knowing the Ropes: Maritime Practice in a Post-Chevron World (Feb 2025)
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and the overturning of Chevron Deference, the maritime industry is facing a sea of change. From presenting cases under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (“LHWCA”), to challenging agency actions under OPA, CERCLA, and the Jones Act, to challenging Federal Maritime Commission and other agency promulgated regulations, the absence of Chevron Deference is already having a strong and lasting impact. The speakers discuss broad practice trends, individual case studies, and what the maritime industry looks like in a post-Chevron world.

The Potential-to-Disrupt Maritime Commerce Test for Admiralty Tort Jurisdiction (Feb 2025)
A federal court exercising admiralty tort jurisdiction must find that the relevant “incident has a potentially disruptive impact on maritime commerce.” But the Supreme Court has offered little guidance on the contours of the potential-to-disrupt-maritime-commerce test, and lower-court decisions are hopelessly inconsistent. This presentation provides an overview and a critical analysis of the issue.
