Prof. Hickman Quoted In MarketWatch About SCOTUS and The Chevron Doctrine

Professor Kristin Hickman was quoted in a MarketWatch article about the ramifications for regulatory litigation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s appointment to the United States Supreme Court. As an expert on the Chevron doctrine, which counsels judicial deference to government agency interpretations of statutes, Prof. Hickman was quoted as recognizing that “gridlock in Congress has exacerbated the Chevron doctrine’s significance” and also that at least four Justices of the Supreme Court had signaled a willingness to reconsider judicial deference to agencies.
