A Matter of Interpretation: Federal Courts and the Law by Antonin Scalia, Amy Gutmann

4.0

This book confirmed forever my status as a law geek--I got so excited reading this that I stayed up late to finish it. What I found so interesting was not just Scalia's articulation of his principles of statutory interpretation, although it was the first I'd read of anyone setting out some sort of reasoned approach to reading statutes (and I'm not so sure Scalia always follows his stated approach), but, more importantly, the essays in response to his initial response illuminated some of the issues and problems of figuring out what a statute's supposed to mean.
