Items related to Law and Interpretation: Essays in Legal Philosophy
Interest in interpretation has emerged in recent years as one of the main intellectual paradigms of legal scholarship. This collection of essays in law and interpretation provides the reader with an overview of this important topic, written by some of the most distinguished scholars in the field. The essays cover a wide range of issues in legal philosophy. The first part of the book concentrates on interpretation as a general method of legal theorizing and thus provides critical assessment of the recent "interpretative turn" in jurisprudence. The second part comprises essays on the nature of interpretation, its objectivity, the possible determinacy of legal standards and their nature. Finally, the collection concludes with a series of articles on the role of legislative intent in the interpretation of statutes, offering insights into this old controversy. This text is intended for scholars and students of jurisprudence, legal theory and legal philosophy.

Review:
... the book is a fine set of essays; all of the contributions are clear and thoughtful, and most of them are powerful./ Virtually every essay in the volume is deserving of detailed comments. A brief review can do no more than touch on a few points./ ... an important and sophisticated contribution to contemporary jurisprudence./ ... for anyone interested in legal philosophy rather than in charlatanry, the book can be recommended very highly indeed./ Matthew H. Kramer, The Cambridge Law Journal, 1998.
