A New Day for EJ: Environmental Justice with an ESG Twist
Webinar | 03.04.21, 8:00 AM EST - 9:00 AM EST
Please join members of Crowell & Moring’s Environment and Natural Resources Group, with special guest speaker Patricia Spitzley, Deputy Redevelopment Manager and Director of Government Relations for the RACER Trust, for a webinar as they explore the Biden Administration’s focus on environmental justice through an ESG lens.
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are putting environmental justice (“EJ”) centerstage as they fill out their Administration. EJ as a policy focus is not limited to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; rather, EJ principles can be found throughout the cross-sectional environment, social, and governance (“ESG”) space, which is of increasing importance to investors, shareholders, and other stakeholders. Companies must stay abreast of these issues or risk both missing out on valuable opportunities and facing increasing enforcement actions.
Topics to be discussed will include:
- The origins and evolution of EJ
- How the Administration plans to employ EJ principles throughout the Executive Branch
- Factoring EJ into the corporate ESG framework
- What to expect on the ground for new and existing projects with EJ implications

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term
The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
