Unofficial Official Comments, Nigel Stark
Unofficial Official Comments, Nigel Stark
Nigel Stark
My Note examines Justice Antonin Scalia’s “plain meaning” theory and asks whether, assuming that theory is correct, whether official comments should be used to interpret a statute. Specifically, I examine the use of the UCC’s Official Comments and its various state variations. I conclude that, under Justice Scalia’s theory, the use of official comments is to interpret the statute is improper and should be avoided.
