Historic Supreme Court ruling ends judicial deference to government agencies.
Established in the 1984 case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., the Chevron Doctrine required courts to defer to federal agencies’ interpretation of ambiguous laws, so long as the interpretation was reasonable.
In 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Chevron Doctrine, fundamentally reshaping administrative law. Now, courts will independently interpret statutes without automatically deferring to agencies like the EPA, DHS, or IRS.
