Today, statutes make up the bulk of the relevant law heard in
federal courts and arguably represent the most important source of
American law. The proper means of judicial interpretation of those
statutes have been the subject of great attention and dispute over
the years. This book provides new insights into the theory and
practice of statutory interpretation by courts.
Cross offers the first comprehensive analysis of statutory
interpretation and includes extensive empirical evidence of Supreme
Court practice. He offers a thorough review of the active disputes
over the appropriate approaches to statutory interpretations,
namely whether courts should rely exclusively on the text or also
examine the legislative history. The book then considers the use of
these approaches by the justices of the recent Rehnquist Court and
the degree to which they were applied by the justices, either
sincerely or in pursuit of an ideological agenda.
