Abstract
Administrative law is undergoing a tremendous amount of change. Presidential administrations have abandoned long-held practices and embraced new strategies to make policy through adjudication and regulation. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has reworked foundational principles of federal administrative law including agency independence, adjudication, and legal interpretation. What does the pace and degree of change in administrative law mean for the federal courts? We posit that some answers lie in the Supreme Court’s decision in Kisor v. Wilkie and its application in the lower courts over the last five years.

In Kisor v. Wilkie, the Court was asked to reconsider its longstanding precedents concerning judicial deference to federal agencies’ interpretations of their own regulations. The result was a splintered decision that produced more questions than answers. Justice Kagan, writing for the plurality (and in parts, the Court), reaffirmed those precedents, including Auer and Seminole Rock, but also clarified and expanded the ways in which such deference should be constrained. Justice Gorsuch penned the principal opposing opinion, arguing that the Court should abandon Auer deference entirely. Chief Justice Roberts cast the deciding vote based on stare decisis, suggesting that “the
