Interpretivism and the Limits of Law

Elgar Studies in Legal Theory

This challenging book discusses whether and how understanding the law is qualitatively different from understanding a different, non-legal text or linguistic utterance, and whether knowledge of a language is sufficient to understand legal content in that language.
