Abstract

Administrative law can seem like a game. This is because courts rarely explain administrative law rulings in terms of public policy but instead focus on interpretive doctrine. Aside from reinforcing judges' reluctance to lightly dismiss the interpretations of administrative agencies, it is doubtful that this doctrine is often outcome-determinative. Further, the doctrine serves poorly to sharpen public discourse and risks causing advocates to give short-shrift to the persuasive power of their clients’ stories.
