Title: Chevron Deference and the Loper Bright Decision: Deference, Legitimacy, and the Modern Administrative State.
Authors: Eckerd, Adam1 (AUTHOR) aeckerd@odu.edu
Source: Administration & Society. Jul2025, Vol. 57 Issue 6, p855-858. 4p.
Subject Terms: *Bureaucracy, Judges, Legal judgments, Chevron USA Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council Inc., Administrative procedure, Statutory interpretation, Bereavement
Abstract: The article discusses the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which formally eliminated the doctrine of Chevron deference that had governed the relationship between federal courts and administrative agencies for four decades. The ruling emphasizes that courts must exercise independent judgment in interpreting statutes, challenging the previous practice of deferring to agency interpretations of ambiguous laws. Various essays included in the article explore the potential consequences of this shift, including concerns about increased litigation, the politicization of agency behavior, and the erosion of bureaucratic human capital, as civil servants may feel more vulnerable to political and judicial scrutiny. The authors highlight differing perspectives on the ruling's impact, suggesting it may lead to significant changes in administrative governance and the legitimacy of the administrative state.
