Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Monsanto v. Durnell: Federal Preemption, Roundup, and the Future of Pesticide Liability
Q: What is the role of science and evolving evidence in these cases?
Science evolves and strengthens causation arguments over time; litigation helps uncover information that regulators may later act upon, and regulatory responses can lag behind scientific findings, influencing both litigation strategy and policy reform.
Monsanto v. Durnell: Federal Preemption, Roundup, and the Future of Pesticide Liability
Q: What did Bates v. Dow AgroSciences establish and why is it relevant here?
Bates held that express preemption exists for certain labeling requirements and that state remedies can exist for false or misleading labels, as long as they are equivalent to FIFRA requirements, informing how rounds of preemption argument might apply to Monsanto's case.
Monsanto v. Durnell: Federal Preemption, Roundup, and the Future of Pesticide Liability
Q: Could you give us background on Monsanto v. Darnell and what the Supreme Court is being asked to decide?
The core issue is whether EPA-approved Roundup labels preempt state failure-to-warn claims, with two potential preemption theories—express and implied—under FIFRA, and whether the court should treat labeling requirements as effectively barring state tort claims.
Centering Equity in Ocean Governance
Q: Can you provide a concrete example of ocean equity in action?
One example is addressing the conflicts faced by small-scale fishers versus developers in coastal communities, emphasizing the need for legal power for communities.
Centering Equity in Ocean Governance
Q: What do we mean by ocean equity and what problem is it trying to solve?
Ocean equity seeks to center justice and address inequalities in ocean governance, acknowledging who benefits or bears costs from marine resource management.
