Environmental Protection Agency<\/a>, may change which waters are defined under the Clean Water Act. Expected to be the first the U.S. Supreme Court hears when its new term starts in October, it is the culmination of a lawsuit stemming from an Idaho couple\u2019s attempt to construct a home on a wetland that the EPA considered to be \u201cwater of the United States\u201d (WOTUS). For over a decade, litigation ensued, with environmental groups advocating for maintaining the current standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If decided in favor of the petitioners, the ruling could undo protections for millions of acres of wetlands directly connected to lakes, rivers, and other ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Behind the brief<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amici curiae (\u201cfriends of the court\u201d) briefs have been filed both for and against the Sacketts.

Were such a standard applied to streams, ephemeral and intermittent streams would not be jurisdictional waters, and thus more than 90% percent of stream length in some watersheds would no longer be protected by the Clean Water Act,\u201d the brief summary reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A valuable experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the Stetson Law students who participated, it was a chance to use their budding advocacy skills in an area they are passionate about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThough work on the brief was challenging, each of us who participated understood the importance of our efforts and the high stakes riding on the case,&#8221; said student <strong>William McCann<\/strong>, who assisted with the document\u2019s citations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent Stetson Law graduate <strong>Lauren Beames<\/strong> said she knew it would be an exciting, collaborative experience. Between sessions studying for the Florida bar exam, she saw Professor Gardner, who gave her a printed copy of the brief after it had officially been accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSeeing the time I spent sifting through copious amounts of scientific research and legal authority constructed into strong, sound legal arguments in an amicus brief that will go before the United States Supreme Court is an experience, I am extremely proud to have been a part of,\u201d Beames said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Student <strong>Cal Raubolt<\/strong>, who worked on the brief\u2019s citations, said what struck him was how so many people came together to make it come about \u2013 something that is not always apparent when one reads a Supreme Court decision and its pertinent documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn reality, there are dozens of hands that put in so much hard work for it to ever get to that point,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is beautiful to be able to say that my hands were a part of that hard work, however small a part it was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second-year law student <strong>Tyler Vansant<\/strong>, who assisted in research for the brief, said the experience gave him an even closer glimpse of the intricacies of environmental policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWorking on this brief was an invaluable way to learn more about the very complex science of wetlands (and WOTUS in general) and gave me a much deeper understanding of the challenges that the EPA and other agencies face in creating rules and policy in this area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Brooke M. Cleary<\/strong>, who helped proofread the document, said the project was a critical exercise in legal writing that showcased Stetson Law\u2019s culture of collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis unique experience enhanced my writing competencies and furthered my passion for environmental law, specifically waters of the United States,\u201d Cleary said. \u201cI&#8217;m so thankful Professor Gardner provided this opportunity to assist with his presentation to the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The students were part of a legal team that included <strong>Katherine Pratt<\/strong>, Stetson\u2019s Foreman Biodiversity Fellow, Prof. <strong>Erin Okuno<\/strong> of the University of Miami, Prof. <strong>Steph Tai<\/strong> of the University of Wisconsin, and <strong>Kathleen Gardner<\/strong> of Shearman &amp; Sterling LLP, a global law firm that supports the Biodiversity Institute on a pro bono basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brief is not the first Stetson Law project to play a role in a SCOTUS clean water case. In 2018, the college filed an amici curiae in County of Maui v. Hawaii Wildlife Fund et al.
