Supreme Court of the United States

Edelman v. Lynchburg College — O'Connor, J., concurring

March 19, 2002535 U.S. 106

Summary

Justice O’Connor concurred in the judgment, disagreeing with the majority's conclusion that deference to the EEOC was unnecessary. She argued the EEOC regulation on charge verification is a procedural rule entitled to Chevron deference and is reasonable. She noted Justice Thomas also concurred, reading the Court’s opinion as holding the EEOC had authority to issue the regulation.
