Purposive Interpretation in Law

Meer over het boek

The book offers a comprehensive theory of legal interpretation, advocating for purposive interpretation as a unifying approach for analyzing various legal texts such as constitutions and contracts. Aharon Barak, a prominent judge and legal theorist, argues that this method not only respects the unique aspects of each text but also provides a more effective framework compared to existing theories. By promoting a consistent interpretative strategy, the book aims to enhance legal understanding and application across diverse legal contexts.
