A reminder: on Tuesday, November 1, 2011, from noon to 1:00 p.m., I’ll be making a presentation to the Natural Resources Section of the Hawaii State Bar Association about the case currently pending in the U.S. Supreme Court about the ability of property owners to challenge a jurisdictional determination by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Sackett v. EPA, No. 10-1062 (cert. granted June 28, 2011).
The venue is the HSBA conference room, located on the 10th floor of Alakea Corporate Tower, 1100 Alakea Street. We’ll talk about the case, the arguments of the parties and amici (the State of Hawaii joined an amici brief in support of the property owners), and what the Court might do.
We may also discuss other pending cases of interest, if there’s time. Please join us and bring your questions. Non-members are welcomed to join on a space available basis.
Also, for those who are not able to be there, we will be videotaping the session, and if the quality of the recording is acceptable, we will post it on the blog.
