Letter to the editor: "When Rules Get in the Way of Reason" by Justice Paul Thissen

(?)

(?)

Dec 19, 2019

I appreciated Justice Thissen’s article ("When Rules Get in the Way of Reason," Bench & Bar Nov. 2019) on principles and methods of statutory construction. I, too, am concerned about overly mechanical – or in some cases, pseudo-plain-text – interpretations of statutory language. Justice Thissen aptly points out that when competing interpretations of a statute assert themselves as “plain meaning” interpretations – a competition found in published opinions as well as parties’ briefs and memoranda – something is amiss.
