Corpus Linguistics And The Criminal Law, Carissa B. Hessick Jan 2017

Corpus Linguistics And The Criminal Law, Carissa B. Hessick

Faculty Publications

This brief response to Ordinary Meaning and Corpus Linguistics, an article by Stefan Gries and Brian Slocum, explains why corpus linguistics represents a radical break from current statutory interpretation practice, and it argues that corpus linguistics ought not be adopted as an interpretive theory for criminal laws.

Privacy And Court Records: Online Access And The Loss Of Practical Obscurity, David S. Ardia Jan 2017

Privacy And Court Records: Online Access And The Loss Of Practical Obscurity, David S. Ardia
