About the Book
The Interpretation Game questions traditional methods of legal interpretation
and challenges the position that objective interpretation of law is possible.
Legal interpretation, the author avers, is unavoidably subjective. Benson
suggests that "plain meaning," "purpose." "intent,"
"structure," "strict construction," "precedent."
and other legal mysticisms are merely pieces manipulated in a game. Those
interested in legal process, legal writing, constitutional law, statutory
interpretation, and jurisprudence will find his arguments provocative
and engaging. Whether one is a lawyer, judge, journalist, or informed
citizen, this look at the on-going battle about whether judges and lawyers
"find the law" or "make the law" will be a stimulating
read.
