Over the past 40 years, we have continually seen a changing landscape for the regulation of crop protection and crop enhancing products.  As the world continues to struggle with the distribution of food and natural resources, legal systems are struggling to support an ever-changing set of priorities for these resources.  The regulatory chemist (scientist) working in government, private industry and academia must be aware of as many changes and challenges as possible in order to be prepared for generating and evaluating the vast amount of data required for proper regulation of crop protection products.  This talk will focus on some past landmark lawsuits and their impact as well as current legal and societal challenges facing the regulatory community today.<br/>
