inserted legal definition and case citation.
Judicial activism is when judicious activists activate judician judgements that are not ethical or morally good. This is usually done by [[judges]].
Judicial activism occurs most often when [[judges]] rule contrary to established precedent. Occasionally, the term also applies to rulings that do not give due deference to agency decisions, as required under ''Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council,'' 467 U.S. 837 (1984).
