LPE Student Writing Prize Awarded to Anjali Katta (JD ’26)

Anjali Katta (JD ’26) has been awarded this year’s LPE Student Writing Prize for her paper Powering the Grid: Labor, Electricity, and the Green Transition. The paper addresses the intersection of two important topics to LPE—green transition and labor representation—and provides a detailed, careful doctrinal analysis that state PUCs and attorneys general could use to support labor in ways that could insulate them from being nullified by the Supreme Court. Furthermore, its analysis of federal preemption as it applies to utilities is original in labor law scholarship.
