2025 Lloyd K. Garrison Lecture
Join the Pace | Haub Law Environmental team for the 2025 Lloyd K. Garrison Lecture delivered by Professor Anthony Moffa, Professor and Associate Dean for Innovation, University of Maine School of Law.
Back to the Future for Climate Liability
Synopsis: There is a climate policy craze sweeping the nation and it has a decidedly retro vibe - state superfunds. Vermont and New York have already passed laws holding fossil fuel producers strictly liable for the costs of adapting to and rebuilding from climate impacts. A half dozen other states seem to be right on their heels. What is the theoretical and moral imperative pushing this trend? How will these new liability schemes work? Will they withstand the inevitable barrage of industry attacks on judicial review? This lecture will try to answer these questions (and more!).
Reception will follow.
