Natural Resources Defense Council v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (S.D.N.Y. No. 1:19-cv-05174-DLC)
On October 16, 2019, the Clinic filed an amicus brief in the Southern District of New York in a case challenging former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s directive to exclude scientists who hold EPA research grants from serving on the agency’s scientific advisory committees. This brief was one of three that the Clinic filed in the summer and fall of 2019 on behalf of former officials in the EPA and other federal agencies.
