Interpreting Law is an accessible introduction to statutory and
constitutional interpretation by the nation's leading legislation
scholar. This concise treatise not only identifies the primary
"canons" or precepts that guide interpretation, but demonstrates
how they operate and interact, as a matter of both practice and
evolving aspiration. Unlike earlier academic treatises, which
rummage through a potpourri of often arcane Supreme Court
decisions, Professor Eskridge's new book focuses on a statute
prohibiting "vehicles" in Lafayette Park, across the street from
the White House. Each chapter engages the law student and the
experienced practitioner to consider the application of the statute
and its statutory and institutional context to a wide and often
delightful array of situations. As the preface by Justice John Paul
Stevens suggests, the reader will emerge from this book with a
deeply enriched understanding of-and excitement about-legal
interpretation.
