Preferred term
legal interpretation and reasoning
Definition
- Beginning in the late 1970s, interpretation became a focal point of legal studies. In large part, this fascination with interpretation was prompted by the interpretive turn associated with the writings of Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900–2002), Richard Rorty, Clifford Geertz, and Jacques Derrida (1930–2004).
