Funded Activity Summary

A Principled Theory of Legal Interpretation. Law's practical operation depends upon the meanings of statements of law: judges, lawyers and parliamentarians all must frequently grapple with issues of legal interpretation. The development of a principled theory of legal interpretation - which will be the result of this project - is therefore crucial to the practice of law-makers and legal officials. It is also important to the broader community, whose interests are often affected by interpretive decisions made by legal officials. By bringing together a team of Australian and New Zealander philosophers of law with a leading international philosopher of language, this interdisciplinary project will also raise the international profile of Australian legal philosophy.
