The Supreme Court recently issued a 6-3 opinion in the combined cases of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce, overturning the seminal 40-year-old decision Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council that established the principle that federal courts must defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of a statute when it is ambiguous — known as Chevron deference. Although the Supreme Court’s decision has long been anticipated, it is still likely to have far-reaching implications for the companies in the life sciences sector.

Join Arnold & Porter for an insightful discussion on the implications of the groundbreaking U.S. Supreme Court decision in SEC v. Jarkesy. In this landmark ruling, the Court stripped the SEC of its ability to seek civil penalties for securities fraud in administrative proceedings, marking one of the most significant changes in the SEC’s 90-year history. Our Securities Enforcement & Litigation practice members, partners Veronica Callahan and Daniel M. Hawke, along with senior associate Stephanna Szotkowski, will break down the decision and explore its impact on the SEC’s enforcement program and other civil penalty statutory regimes. The webinar will also feature a special focus on the decision’s effect on federal agencies in the life sciences industry, providing valuable insights for in-house counsel and executives.

Things recently got more complicated for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) as an administrative law judge ruled that agency lawyers did not prove that a product recall was warranted. This rare recall litigation, only the third of its kind in two decades to get this far, involved Leachco's "Podster" infant loungers. With the initial ruling favoring Leachco, it remains to be seen if this may embolden other companies to challenge CPSC's recall requests. Dive into the details of this case and its potential impact on the industry.

We are thrilled to share that Arnold & Porter, alongside the Innocence Project, has successfully secured the exoneration of Marvin Grimm after 45 years of wrongful incarceration. This monumental victory was recently granted by the Virginia Court of Appeals. Arnold & Porter partner Jeffrey Horowitz shared, “Working to exonerate Marvin was truly a team effort involving not only our Arnold & Porter team, but also multiple attorneys over the years from the Innocence Project, and could never have been accomplished without the unwavering support of Marvin’s sisters and entire family.” From a coerced false confession in 1975 to a landmark Petition for Writ of Actual Innocence in 2023, this journey highlights the relentless pursuit of justice and the power of unwavering advocacy.

Continuing their ongoing trend of narrowing federal anticorruption laws, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 opinion in Snyder v. United States, holding that 18 U.S.C. § 666 — a federal fraud statute geared toward a variety of misconduct by state, local, and tribal officials in connection with federal program funds — does not criminalize gratuities received for an official’s past acts. Snyder’s temporal-based distinction of what separates a “bribe” from a “gratuity” — whether the payment is made before or after the decision to take an official act — may support future challenges when the government charges that an official unlawfully accepted a payment.
