Reading Law
The Interpretation of Legal Texts
Antonin Scalia
"Reading Law" by Antonin Scalia and Bryan Garner is a groundbreaking book that explains the most important principles of constitutional, statutory, and contractual interpretation in an engaging and informative style. With real-life case examples, the authors tackle pressing questions such as whether a burrito is a sandwich and whether corporations are entitled to personal privacy. The book also delves into controversial issues in modern jurisprudence, including the true doctrine of originalism and whether the spirit or the letter of the law is more important. Written in a definitive yet nuanced style, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the law.
