How Obamacare Will Affect Clean Air Act Litigation

Shapiro, Lifschitz & Schram's Judah Lifschitz and Scott D. Burke analyzed how a Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare may impact Clean Air Act litigation and the energy industry in an article that recently published in Electric Light & Power, "How "Obamacare" Will Affect Clean Air Act Litigation."

In the article, Lifschitz and Burke note that the Supreme Court ruling in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (NFIB) may have much broader implications than judging aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare." The ruling is likely to affect many aspects of law substantially, including offering new lines of attack against the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its regulation.
