Abstract

To conclude Touro Law Center's symposium: The Supreme Court and Local Government Law: The 1994-95 Term, Judge Lazer discusses Babbitt v. Sweet Home Chapter of Communities for a Great Orego, a United States Supreme Court case, which involved a Department of the Interior regulation which declared that it is unlawful, under the Endangered Species Act, to significantly degrade or modify the habitat of an endangered species. "The issue in the case is whether the Secretary of the Interior, in promulgating this regulation, had the power to do so based on the underlying congressional act.”

Keywords: Supreme Court, Babbit, Endangered Species Act, Section 9, Department of Interior, legislative construction
