Description
Summary:This title addresses various approaches to interpreting a constitution. It is the third and final volume on legal interpretation, following 'Legal Interpretation: Perspectives from Other Disciplines and Private Texts' and 'Statutory and Common Law Interpretation'. The overall theme is that techniques of constitutional interpretation are multiple and far from simple. They are not reducible to any standard priority or even any non-vague written or verbal systematic account. A great deal depends on the context, most notably the nature of the constitutional provision being interpreted.
