Excerpt from Statutes and Statutory Construction, Vol. 1: Including a Discussion of Legislative Powers, Constitutional Regulations Relative to the Forms of Legislation and to Legislative Procedure
The natural tendency and growth of the law is towards system and towards certainty, towards modes of operation at once practical and just, by the process of its intelligent judicial administration; but this process is impaired by overwork and legislative interference.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of statutory construction, a field of law that focuses on interpreting written laws. The author acknowledges the mastery of previous works on this subject, but argues that the field is far from exhausted. The book's focus on written laws distinguishes it from traditional legal texts that primarily address the interpretation of contracts and other private documents. The book examines the historical context of statutory interpretation, tracing its development from the traditional English rules of statutory construction to the unique challenges faced by the diverse legislative and judicial systems of the United States. The author emphasizes the need for careful collation of similar cases and the generalization of principles to maintain the coherence of the law as a science. The book delves into a range of complex legal topics, including the validity of statutes, the delegation of legislative power, the requirement of general laws, the process of amending and repealing statutes, and the distinction between directory and mandatory laws. The author's emphasis on the "intent" of the law underscores the book's exploration of the interplay between language, context, and legal purpose. This book offers valuable insights for legal practitioners and scholars by providing a comprehensive overview of the intricacies of statutory construction and the principles that govern the interpretation of written laws. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
