Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The importance of regulatory activity in the states has been recognized for some time, but recent developments in judicial federalism on the Supreme Court have helped shift focus back to the states as regulators and state judiciaries as active participants in oversight. State court judges and justices perform vital functions through statutory interpretation and judicial review of agency actions. These functions have not escaped notice of legal scholars, who offer a wealth of theoretical and practical literature on the judicial role in regulation, but political scientists have been slow to turn their attention to state court activities in regulation. I review several of the major theories offered by legal scholars to explain and guide statutory interpretation and judicial review of regulation, particularly newer approaches drawn from public choice scholarship and dynamic approaches to interpretation, and test their implications using data from the State Supreme Court Data Project. My results demonstrate the relative strength of systematic, theoretically grounded approaches to regulatory legislation and agency actions within differing institutional frameworks compared to public interest balancing and the influence of personal partisanship and ideology.
