• W2596627483 abstract "In summer of 1985, when then-Judge Antonin Scalia's three law clerks were finishing their term at D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, we1 gave him a plaque emblazoned with phrase, It's hard to get That was a phrase that Judge, and later Justice, Scalia's law clerks heard often-never in anger, never in rebuke, but always as a reminder (often accompanied by a wry smile) that . . . well, sometimes it's hard to get right.Justice Scalia cared deeply and profoundly about getting right. Law clerks learned early on about the cart, on which we had to put every source that we cited in a draft so that he could read sources for himself to make sure that we characterized them correctly. The fact that he would usually delete whatever drafts we had given him and start over from scratch made that practice seem a tad puzzling at times, but he maintained that drafts helped him. And was certainly better for us to believe that than to believe alternative.The most important part of emblazoned aphorism on our plaque, though, was it. The it to which Judge/Justice Scalia so frequently referred was law.Many legal questions are difficult, even if one does not fully endorse selection hypothesis which posits that difficult cases are more likely to wind their way through appellate system.2 Getting difficult cases right often requires thought, research, more thought, a willingness to reconsider premises, careful consideration of strongest arguments on all sides (including sides that one might not be personally inclined to take), multiple drafts to see what arguments and don't work, and long hours. All of that was necessary, Justice Scalia believed, because close enough for government work might be an apt aphorism for deferential review of agency decisions but was not appropriate for judicial law-finding. The law mattered.Of course, everyone in legal culture-including people who find buried in Constitution sweet mysteries of life that would evade detection even by Nicholas Cage, Diane Kruger, and Jon Voigt armed with lemon juice and hair dryers-says that getting it right matters to them. But Justice Scalia had a very concrete it in mind. For Justice Scalia, legal reasoning, at least in public law world,3 was principally a deductive enterprise in which answers flowed from careful examination of authoritative sources external to decisionmaker. Legal texts, he maintained, have objective meanings, and when meanings of those texts are relevant to deciding a case, judicial task is to ascertain those meanings as they would have been ascertained by an informed audience at time of their promulgation. The pursuit of that common-sense understanding of communicative meaning-which I believe describes how virtually all legal academics generally expect their own to be read (and generally expect judicial opinions of which they approve to be read)-has acquired rarefied label of interpretation. Some of us would not give a rarefied label. We would call interpretation.Justice Scalia's forthright, persistent, and often witty articulation of an originalist methodology of textual interpretation is quite possibly most important legal development of my lifetime. It is fair to say that before Justice Scalia, there was no serious and sustained intellectual engagement with this methodology. Some very important prior figures-most notably Raoul Berger and Robert Bork-made important observations about intentions of historical persons and consistency of modern judicial decisions with those expressed intentions, but Justice Scalia was first prominent jurist to set forth a systematic methodology for understanding content of legal texts by reference to their original public communicative meanings. That was a revolutionary development.On June 14, 1986, shortly before he took a seat on Supreme Court, thenJudge Scalia gave a speech at United States Department of Justice in which he laid out theory of original meaning and recommended that selfdescribed originalists change label from Doctrine of Original Intent to Doctrine of Original Meaning. …" @default.
