Description
"A Dictionary of Statutory Interpretation includes the important terms and ideas that are relevant to modern statutory interpretation -- ambiguity, the absurdity canon, linguistic and substantive canons, legislative intent, legislative purpose, legislative history, textualism, legal realism, law and economics, etc. Each entry includes a definition, an explanation of the relevance of the term and ideas for statutory interpretation, some history about its use, and a concise discussion of contemporary issues. The author expresses his point of view in the discussion of these issues -- which is generally skeptical about textualism -- but presents all sides of the debate. A reference section allows for further research on each subject. The book will be useful for lawyers, judges, law professors, and law students who want an entry into the contemporary debate about how to interpret legislation, along with an insight into what is at stake in those debates"--Jacket.
