When and how do Courts defer to an agency's interpretation of its own statute? A 1984 landmark case, Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v.

Professor Kristin Hickman discusses why the Mayo Foundation case is so important. An issue in the case was whether judicial review could apply the Chevron Deference to the Treasury Department, or if Treasury was only subject to a much older alternative review process under National Muffler. In the decision for Mayo Foundation, the Justices unanimously decided that the Treasury was subject to the same standards as other administrative agencies, thus rejecting the notion of “tax exceptionalism.”
Professor Kristin E. Hickman is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor and Harlan Albert Rogers Professor in Law at the University of Minnesota Law School.
