Overview
Written by the law professors who have rejuvenated the field, Legislation & Statutory Interpretation is an authoritative & accessible introduction to the theory & practice of legislative practice, including lobbying, & statutory interpretation. It is essential reading for the student of these subjects as well as by the private practitioner, government servant, or law professor. Among its many noteworthy features are the following: The integration of the most important & current thinking in political theory, philosophy, & even economics with cutting-edge issues of American public law, such as the legitimacy of aggressive judicial review of popular initiatives & referenda, the constitutionality of term limits & regulation of money in politics, the ambit of legislative immunities from lawsuit, the utility & persuasiveness of Justice Scalia's hard-hitting textualist theory of interpretation, & the proper role of the celebrated yet much-criticized canons of statutory interpretation. The book is practically useful as well as theoretically sophisticated, as it includes a meaty description of campaign finance & lobbying regulations as well as the previously incomprehensible federal budget process, in-depth analysis of leading constitutional & statutory interpretation cases (including the cases most reproduced in casebooks on legislation & the political process), & an invaluable appendix of the canons of statutory construction followed by the Rehnquist Court.
