Endangered Species Act Hot Topics

 
The federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) is one of the most important, powerful and far-reaching of our modern environmental laws. This video covers hot topics surrounding the Endangered Species Act. This video starts off by reviewing the proper standard for a court to issue an injunction once it has found a violation of the endangered species act and cases that surround injunction standards.

Speaker Victor Sher covers also some of the more notable renewable energy ESA trends along with covering what claims and court challenges have come from these trends. Sher also reviews the future of agency interpretive rule making and a review of citizens suit attorney’s fees.

Victor Sher is a principal and founder of Vic Sher Law, and is Of Counsel to Sher Leff, LLP (which he co-founded and was chief litigator from 2003 – 2012). Sher litigated innovative environmental cases for over 35 and during his tenure with Earthjustice, he litigated many landmark cases under the Endangered Species Act and other environmental laws. Sher is a writer of many publications related to environmental law, and conducts frequent seminars and workshops in the field.
