Lawrence B. Solum has posted Deferentialism: Soames on legal interpretation on the Springer website. Here is the abstract:
This essay explores themes raised by Scott Soames in Chapter Twelve of The World Philosophy Made. Soames’s key contribution is the articulation of ageneral theory of legal interpretation and more specific theory, Constitutional Deferentialism, that is a form of public meaning originalism. His development of the connections between the philosophy of language and legal interpretation have been especially important and influential.
A link to the book is in the abstract.
