Reviews

LaRue is interested not in the simple claim that meaning is constructed, but in demonstrating the particular ways in which judicial writers create meaning in particular cases, and how in doing so they succeed, or fail, in creating the grounds of their own authority. . . . LaRue opens up a new set of questions and concerns, which should be of great value to lawyers, judges, and others interested in constitutional law, or law more generally. --James Boyd White, Author of The Legal Imagination


Perhaps the strongest praise I can give this manuscript is that, having read it once, I actually look forward to reading it again, not because it is 'difficult' in any ordinary sense, but because it is an unusually rich book. --Sanford Levinson, Author of Constitutional Faith
