The Rise of Anti-Regulatory Litigation: The Farm Bureau Case Study
Monday, April 6, 2026 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Event Navigation
Speaker: Carrie La Seur, Principal, La Seur Law Firm PLLC
How did a legacy agricultural organization become one of the most formidable architects of modern anti-regulatory litigation? In this talk, author and practitioner Carrie La Seur previews her forthcoming Ecology Law Quarterly article, which dissects the Farm Bureau’s sophisticated legal strategy to dismantle environmental, labor, public health, and consumer protections.
Beyond a clinical analysis of case law, this session bridges the gap between high-court maneuvers and the front lines of environmental justice. We will explore:
The Litigator’s Playbook: How systemic challenges to water quality and agribusiness regulations are shaped in the courts.
The Grassroots Response: Real-world accounts of community-led struggles against corporate agribusiness.
The Future of Food System Law: What the Farm Bureau’s strategy reveals about the shifting legal landscape around farms and food.
Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of corporate power, agribusiness litigation, and the essential role of public interest advocacy in defending farm country and the food on every American table.
