Larry Alexander (University of San Diego School of Law) has posted Connecting the Rule of Recognition and Intentionalist Interpretation: An Essay in Honor of Richard Kay (52 Conn. L. Rev. (forthcoming 2020)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This article, written in honor of Rick Kay and his distinguished career, addresses two areas of mutual interest: the foundations of legal systems and legal interpretation as a quest for lawmakers’ intended meanings. I attempt to show how these two topics are connected.
Highly recommended.
