Did the Chevron decision have immediate consequences? Why is Chevron still controversial today, almost 40 years later? Professor Gary Lawson explains that the Supreme Court did not think they were issuing a groundbreaking precedent but lower courts quickly adapted the Chevron rules of deference to almost all cases involving administrative agencies. Courts now routinely defer to the agencies rather than carefully examining a statute and questioning the agency’s interpretation of it.
Professor Gary Lawson is the Philip S. Beck Professor at Boston University School of Law.
