California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, et al. v. Environmental Protection Agency, et al. (9th Cir. No. 21-71287)
On June 1, 2022, the Clinic submitted an amicus brief on behalf of three leading experts supporting a challenge to an action by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) involving the toxic herbicide paraquat dichloride (often simply called “paraquat”). Specifically, EPA approved paraquat’s use for the next fifteen years under certain conditions, despite the risks paraquat poses to public health.
