Details

A teaching text specifically designed for discrete statutory interpretation subjects;
Covers both the creation of legislation and statutory interpretation;
Illustrative examples and case studies are well-chosen and very useful for teaching purposes;
Strong focus on applied knowledge with the inclusion of four practical exercises at the end of the book which provide a series of detailed scenarios to which the rules of statutory interpretation may be applied.

Statutory Interpretation responds to a recognized need for students to have improved skills in statutory interpretation. The book is intentionally aligned with the length of a typical semester, and in addition to research and analysis of statutory interpretation rules and principles, case scenarios and application exercises are provided. The aim is to bring statutory interpretation, currently viewed by many students as a necessary evil, to a living, breathing, dynamic tool for understanding and applying the law.

Readership: Undergraduate law students studying a discrete statutory interpretation subject (an elective in later years) or a compulsory introduction to law subject in first or second year where statutory interpretation is a large component of the subject.
