In a significant legal victory, New Civil Liberties Alliance, Latham & Watkins LLP, Clement & Murphy PLLC, and Cause of Action Institute have been recognized as Legal Lions by Law360. The recognition came after successfully persuading the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a decades-old precedent. This precedent had stipulated that judges should defer to federal agencies’ interpretations of the law when engaged in rulemaking. The court’s decision marks a pivotal moment in federal agency oversight and judicial review.
