Incoming Dean Kent Barnett’s Scholarship Cited by U.S. Supreme Court

Justice Elena Kagan cited two of incoming dean Kent Barnett’s co-authored articles in her dissent to the ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. The ruling overturns a precedent set in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, a 1984 ruling which required courts to defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of a statute that the agency administered. Barnett's scholarship about the Chevron deference has previously been published in several journals, including the George Mason Law Review and the Vanderbilt Law Review.
