Just a reminder: Today I’m hosting a live conversation with three of the nation’s top climate lawyers. We’ll be discussing the bombshell New York Times investigation into the surprising origins of the Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” — surprising because it was a product of Chief Justice John Roberts’ intense desire to stop President Obama from shutting down coal plants.

We’ll start at 12:30 p.m. PT and talk for about an hour, including an audience Q&A. I’m excited to be joined by:

  • Ann Carlson, founding director, Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, UCLA School of Law

  • Michael Gerrard, founder, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, Columbia Law School

  • Joanne Spalding, legal director, Sierra Club
