OVERVIEW
The hotly debated subject of States’ rights vs. federal preemption of state and local law is having a significant impact on American business. Companies in numerous industries are asking:
- How many layers of government regulation are enough
- Why should a company be held liable under state law for marketing a federally approved product
These and similar questions about the relationship between federal and state law confront Congress, state legislatures, and the courts, as well as corporate board rooms and public interest groups.
In this unique one-day program, McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP brings together policy, legal, and government affairs experts to address the many sides of the federal vs. state debate. You will learn the basics of federalism and federal preemption, hear about major “hot button” topics that cut across many industries, gain insight into how to lobby for or against preemption of state law, understand the potential business impacts of the most recent Supreme Court cases on preemption, and delve into the mounting issue of “global governance.”
Don’t you need to know exactly who gets to regulate your business? |
