Welcome to the winter 2025 issue of Infrastructure. I want to thank our Editor Tim McHugh for his work on this issue as well as Joe Cosgrove Jr. for his feature article about the recent Loper Bright decision and the significance of this case to the regulated industries that are the focus of the Infrastructure and Regulated Industries Section (IRIS).
Professor Cosgrove’s examination of the topic provides insightful perspectives on the history of the Administrative Procedure Act, the evolution of Chevron deference, the perspectives of the individual justices on the arguments advanced in Loper Bright, and the potential implications of this landmark case. The article will be of value and interest to the readers of Infrastructure.
As always, we welcome your thoughts (and contributions!) for future issues of Infrastructure and the other content provided by the Section. In addition to the IRIS website which will soon be getting a makeover, I encourage you to visit and follow the newly launched ABA IRIS account on LinkedIn, which will provide another convenient channel for valuable content and connections.
