Major Questions Doctrine and the Tech and Telecom Sectors After West Virginia v. EPA

Last year, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in West Virginia v. EPA, in which the Court reinvigorated the “Major Questions Doctrine” of administrative law. Given the Federal Trade Commission’s efforts to expand its rulemaking powers under Section 5 of the FTC Act and the likely return of the “net neutrality” fight at the Federal Communications Commission once a third Democratic commissioner is confirmed, this webinar explored how the reinvigorated “Major Questions Doctrine” may impact tech and telecom policy.
