Chevron at 30 – New York City, NY

This coming year marks the thirtieth anniversary of Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, 467 U.S. 837 (1984).  This seminal Supreme Court decision regarding the judicial deference owed to administrative interpretations of law is the most cited administrative law decision of all time:  Chevron has been cited in over 65,000 total sources available on Westlaw, including in nearly 13,000 subsequent cases and 13,000 law review articles and secondary sources.  Over the last three decades, scholars, courts, and litigants have addressed numerous Chevron-related questions, such as what Chevron deference means, how it applies, when (or even if) it should apply, and what impact it has had on the administrative state—just to name a few.

Chevron’s thirtieth anniversary provides a fitting moment for scholars from across the country to gather to reflect on how Chevron and its progeny have shaped and will continue to shape the modern administrative state.
