On February 6, 2019, the Federalist Society's Article I Initiative and the Georgetown Student Chapter co-sponsored the first Legislative Branch Review Conference. The second panel speculated on "A World Without Chevron?"
Chevron has come under fire as of late, and the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh has tipped off a new round of speculation as to how the Court might narrow, or even eliminate, the doctrine. But is a world without Chevron desirable? If courts do not defer to agency interpretations of truly ambiguous statutes, should courts decide de novo what they think such ambiguous laws mean? Are there viable alternatives?
