A Dubious Proposition of Law: Why Judicial Deference to Agency Interpretations of Regulations Is at Odds with Nebraska Law

Trevor J. Rogers, J.D., 2022, University of Nebraska College of Law

"This Comment argues that Justice Papik’s Prokop concurrence is correct. But he is correct not just because the Nebraska Supreme Court improperly adopted a questionable doctrine from federal law and because Nebraska’s APA prohibits deference, but also because judicial deference to agency interpretations of regulations clashes with Nebraska Supreme Court precedent and violates Nebraska’s Constitution."


All Rise: Pursuing Equity in Oral Argument Evaluation

Rachel Stabler, Associate Clinical Professor of Law, Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law

"The nature of a traditional oral argument, where a student stands before a judging panel to present an oral argument based on a written brief, makes anonymous grading impossible. This introduces tension for those called on to evaluate oral arguments, whether as a required component of coursework, as part of a moot court competition, or in another setting. How can an evaluator who does not have the benefit of anonymity nonetheless guard against biases affecting the evaluation of an oral argument?"
