On April 5, 2019, the Federalist Society's Ohio lawyers chapters hosted the 2019 Ohio Chapters Conference in Columbus, OH. The second panel covered "The Future of Administrative Deference".
More and more judges, advocates, and scholars are calling on the courts to reexamine the deference paid to administrative agencies’ legal interpretations. This debate has attracted the most attention at the federal level. But the same is now occurring in state courts—including in Ohio, where just last year four justices on the Supreme Court of Ohio questioned the appropriateness of deference to agency interpretations. This distinguished panel will address these developments, make some predictions about future developments, and discuss whether those likely developments are good, bad, or neither.
