Abstract
Like any other hardy administrative law article, this Note starts with Chevron. In 1984, the Supreme Court decided the landmark case, Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. National Resources Defense Council, Inc. There, the Court said it will defer to an agency’s interpretation of a statute if that interpretation is reasonable. However, because some on the Court saw Chevron deference as “wrest[ing] from [c]ourts the ultimate interpretive authority to ‘say what the law is’ and hand[ing] it over to the Executive,” exceptions to Chevron deference have appeared like worms after a storm.
