Description
Professors Shapiro and Levy posit that the Chevron and State Farm cases, though frequently cited as landmarks of administrative law, are in reality dead letters. The heart of Shapiro and Levy's comment is an ambitious attempt to apply "public choice" theory to judicial behavior. Having committed themselves to the theory, the authors are led inexorably to a solution that, in the author's opinion, has little chance of success in the real world.
