Battle over a dry river puts California water rights back on trial

Brian Moskal, Environmental Litigation Partner, spoke with the Daily Journal about a California Supreme Court case that addresses whether state law will require the Kern River to flow again.

Excerpts:

"The water agencies here have the better argument," Moskal said. "If a California statute is found to have predetermined the outcome, that would box out a constitutional provision."

It's hard to predict how the Supreme Court will rule, he added. "But there's one tea leaf: They did not depublish the Court of Appeal opinion, which they sometimes do if they plan to reverse."
