Journey: Chevron deference
Welcome to Ballotpedia’s Learning Journey on Chevron deference.
The term Chevron deference refers to the administrative law principle that compelled courts to defer to an enforcement agency’s reasonable interpretation of a statute when the legislative language was silent or ambiguous. Such deference was widely regarded as a major factor in the expansion of federal agency powers.
This Learning Journey guides you through the nuts and bolts of Chevron deference, including its history, evolution, leading arguments for and against, and the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the doctrine.
