This two-credit course, taught by the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of NH, offers instruction in statutory interpretation, with emphasis on its practice (advocacy in litigation, and judicial opinions), doctrines (textual and substantive canons of construction), and competing theories: textualism, intentionalism, purposivism (legal process theory), pragmatism, and "dynamic statutory interpretation." Despite its theoretical aspects, this is a highly practical course.
