by: Antonin Scalia, Bryan A. Garner

April 28, 2008
I'll be brief (no pun intended). If you are a lawyer or law student who wants to write better and more persuasive briefs - buy or borrow this book! I've completely changed my legal writing style after reading Judge Scalia and Garner's book.

.A Matter of Interpretation: Federal Courts and the Law (The University Center for Human Values Series)

by: Antonin Scalia

July 27, 1998
Frankly, I was disappointed in the depth of insight and reflection offered in this book. This little volume is essentially a recapitulation of a narrow and shallow view of Constitutional Law and exegesis of the US Constitution that lacks a unifying logic or point of view that underlies it. And, I found him disingenuous in that he adopts a literalist position while knowing full well that no such position is possible in reading documents more complex and abstract than simple assembly instructions. His responses to the criticisms of Dworkin, Glendon, Tribe and Wood were frequently glib and self-indulgent, even self-congratulatory. Contrast this work with Justice Breyer's Active Liberty.

More importantly, in keeping with the slightly misleading format of a "debate", it also has the views of opponents of originalism. It is slightly misleading because the case for originalism is cast in stronger light mainly by depriving the reader of some of the clearer and stronger views in opposition. However, this ...
