On January 17, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Ramondo, challenging the so-called Chevron doctrine which federal courts have applied since 1984. The doctrine has become one of the most significant and frequently cited legal principles in administrative law, allowing federal agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Departments of Interior and Energy, to interpret ambiguities in statutes where an agency has unique expertise. During its 40-year history, the Supreme Court itself has applied the Chevron doctrine in well over 100 cases involving agency authority, including EPA regulations relating to climate change and its jurisdiction over waters of the United States. In recent years, challengers of the doctrine have argued that such broad deference abdicates the federal judiciary’s authority to interpret laws. In Loper, the Supreme Court is now poised to overturn or significantly restrict this long-standing doctrine, which could have far-reaching implications for the authority of federal agencies. The panelists, with expertise in administrative law, will discuss the significance of the impending Loper decision and its implications for federal policies and programs for conservation, energy, and environmental protection.

Brennan, Jr., Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center. Her primary specialties are environmental and administrative law.
