  How should judges interpret statutes and the Constitution? The author shows that any approach to legal interpretation rests on institutional and empirical premises about the capacities of judges and the systemic effects of their rulings. He argues that legal interpretation is an exercise in decision-making under severe empirical uncertainty.
