The author expertly challenges the dominant mode of formalist theorizing and proposes an explanatory account of legal interpretation that can profitably be understood as an 'informal' intervention. Such an informal approach has no truck with either the claims of the formalists (i.e., that law is something separate from ideology) or those of the anti-formalists (i.e., that law is nothing other than ideological posturing). Hutchinson insists that, when understood properly, legal interpretation is an applied exercise in law-and-ideology; it is both constrained and unconstrained in equal measure. In developing this informalist account through a sustained application of the 'no vehicles in the park' rule, this book is wide-ranging in theoretical scope and substance, but also accessible and practical in style. 606 $aLaw$xInterpretation and construction 606 $aLaw$xMethodology 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aComparative law 615 0$aLaw$xInterpretation and construction. 615 0$aLaw$xMethodology. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aComparative law. 676 $a340/.1 700 $aHutchinson$b Allan C.$f1951-$01075282 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136595003321 996 $aToward an informal account of legal interpretation$92584444 997 $aUNINA
