Faculty in Action: Professors File Supreme Court Amicus

Two GW Law faculty members, Professors Emily Hammond and Richard J. Pierce, have filed an amicus brief in the upcoming Supreme Court case Electric Power Supply Association v. FERC. The case considers whether the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has the power to set uniform rules for demand response compensation in the wholesale electricity markets. The professors, along with their co-authors, argue that the D.C. Circuit improperly interpreted parts of the Federal Power Act when it ruled against FERC.
