Emory Law Professor George Shepherd has been invited to testify before a House of Representatives subcommittee, on the issue of how the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council affects the leeway agencies have to interpret laws passed by Congress since. "Since the Supreme Court's ruling in Chevron, there has been increasing confusion in the courts, Congress, the legal bar, and legal academia on the issues of whether, when and how courts should defer to federal agencies' interpretations of the statutes they administer," according to a committee release. The hearing is before the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law.
