One Year After Chevron—How Loper Bright & Relentless Changed Administrative Law

In this special anniversary episode of Unwritten Law, NCLA’s Mark Chenoweth and John Vecchione discuss the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Loper Bright & Relentless v. Department of Commerce, marking one year since Chevron deference was overturned. They examine how this pivotal decision reshaped judicial review, empowered textualism, and curbed administrative excess across multiple cases, from net neutrality to FDA overreach. John highlights the ongoing impacts of the ruling, including Congress’s legislative responses and recent decisions limiting executive power, while exploring whether the administrative state has truly been restrained—or if more work remains.

Topics include: Chevron deference, administrative law reform, judicial independence, regulatory accountability, and the latest developments in major administrative law cases.
