Implications of Recent Supreme Court Decisions for Agency Decision-Making: A Workshop

In recent decisions (e.g., West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency and Biden v. Nebraska), the Supreme Court moved away from the traditional deference afforded government agencies under the 1984 case Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council - ultimately overturning Chevron in its June 28, 2024 decision on Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. In moving away from Chevron, the court has embraced the Major Questions Doctrine (MQD), wherein courts are tasked with independently interpreting laws and deciding whether an agency has the authority to act. The National Academy of Sciences will be holding a two-day, in-person workshop on the implications of the Major Questions Doctrine (MQD) and the overturning of Chevron deference for agency decision-making.
