Why is the Chevron Doctrine Still Controversial? [No. 86]

Why do scholars and judges still debate the utility and validity of the Chevron doctrine, more than 30 years after it was proposed?

Professor Gary Lawson explains that the controversy involves serious questions about the role of agencies and their power to pass regulations, as well as questions about the proper role of jurisprudence in administrative law cases.

Professor Gary Lawson is the Philip S. Beck Professor at Boston University School of Law.
