A Pluralist Approach To Interpretation: Wills And Contracts, Kent Greenawalt Jan 2005

A Pluralist Approach To Interpretation: Wills And Contracts, Kent Greenawalt

This account of legal interpretation focuses mainly on wills and contracts. It adopts a pluralist approach, one that treats a number of factors as potentially relevant and does not assume that all relevant factors necessarily reduce to one overarching inquiry that is the same whatever legal text is being interpreted.
