Statutory Interpretation--In The Classroom And In The Courtroom, Richard A. Posner Jan 1983

Statutory Interpretation--In The Classroom And In The Courtroom, Richard A. Posner

Articles

This paper continues a discussion begun in an earlier paper in this journal.1 That paper dealt primarily with the implications for statutory interpretation of the interest-group theory of legislation, recently revivified by economists; it also dealt with constitutional interpretation. This paper focuses on two topics omitted in the earlier one: the need for better instruction in legislation in the law schools and the vacuity of the standard guideposts to reading statutes- the "canons of construction." The topics turn out to be related. The last part of the paper contains a positive proposal on how to interpret statutes.

Ways Of Criticizing The Court, Frank H. Easterbrook Jan 1982

Ways Of Criticizing The Court, Frank H. Easterbrook

Articles

Critics have attacked Supreme Court decisions not only for their substance, but also for their structure and inconsistency. Professor Easterbrook responds to these critics by arguing, first, that the increasing caseload of the judiciary, coupled with the techniques of Supreme Court case selection, makes more fractured decisions inevitable. Second, Professor Easterbrook applies Arrow's Theorem to show that it is impossible for critics to demand consistent decisions from the Supreme Court without requiring it to sacrifice its essential institutional nature.

The Social Consequences Of Common Law Rules, Richard A. Epstein Jan 1982

The Social Consequences Of Common Law Rules, Richard A. Epstein

Articles

In the past decade, commentators applying both economic and historical methods to the study of the classical common law have explicitly or implicitly made sweeping claims for the system's ability to allocate or redistribute substantial shares of wealth. In this Article, Professor Epstein challenges the assumption that the fundamental doctrines of the common law can have a decisive effect on the flow of resources in society. He calls attention to the constraints placed upon the system by the generality of its rules, the prospectively indeterminate alignment of economically interested parties, the expenses of adjudication, and the divergent social beliefs of …
