Who decides which waters are protected under the Clean Water Act?

For more than 50 years, the answer has been shaped by Congress, federal agencies, and the courts—with major implications for environmental protection, federal-state authority, and private property rights.

In the latest episode of the SEER100 Podcast Series, Professor Royal Gardner and Tyler Burgess explore the evolution of “waters of the United States” (WOTUS), landmark decisions including Rapanos and Sackett, and what recent developments could mean for the future of federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.

🎧 Listen now for a timely look at one of environmental law’s most consequential questions.

What can the Clean Air Act—and decades of environmental law—teach us about where the field is headed?

In last week's episode of the SEER100 Podcast Series, Lindsey Simmons and Professor Richard Lazarus of Harvard Law School, author of The Rule of Five, offers a wide-ranging look at the evolution of environmental law and the challenges of applying decades-old statutes to today’s issues, including climate change.

Drawing on his experience before the U.S. Supreme Court and across multiple administrations, Professor Lazarus explores how agencies, courts, and Congress have shaped environmental protection—and what those dynamics mean for the next generation of environmental lawyers.

🎧 If you haven’t listened yet, this is one conversation worth adding to your queue.
