<div class="e2ma-p-div" style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 1.5;">
Many contemporary political debates are bound up with questions about the law; about what the law is, as well as what it should be. For example: within the USA, many people (including many Supreme Court justices) think that American law should be interpreted
in accordance with the “original meaning” of legal texts, including that of the American constitution. Others strongly disagree. Many of them instead think that facts about the intent of the law, or our current moral and political goals, should play a role
here too.</div>
<div class="e2ma-p-div" style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 1.5;">
How should we best understand such debates about legal interpretation? What would justify one view here rather than another? This talk will explore these and other foundational questions about legal interpretation. In so doing, it will engage with a range of
questions about the nature of law, morality, and political disagreement.</div>
