Thrilled that my paper "The Object of Interpretation" is out in the @GeorgetownLJ. The paper asks: What exactly is the object of legal interpretation? You can find it below and here: ssrn.com/abstract=5137931
The Object of Interpretation by @FranciscUrbina sets forth a pluralist account of objects of legal interpretation, according to which text, lawmaking choice, practice, and order are all possible objects.

I wrote a book!
The pub date is tomorrow!
It's about age as a big factor in the distribution of power in American society (including, most important, the sociology of class)!
It's full of facts and stories!
Last day to preorder it-which would mean a lot!

New (little) paper: Federal courts aren’t supposed to engage in “abstract review” of government policies, but something like it is happening in district courts anyway. If that’s a problem, maybe try one of these off-the-wall proposals to centralize abstract review.

My latest in the @YaleJREG blog, responding to @RichardMRe's @DividedArgument post on a "legal alignment" between "textualists" and "non-textualists.” Building off the work of @StephenESachs, I argue that no alignment exists because, while both camps may use similar procedures, they don't embrace the same "standard of rightness.” That is, “they[] still disagree about what makes an interpretive answer a legally correct one."
Check it out!

Kenneth Ayotte (Berkeley) & Jared Ellias (Harvard), Bankruptcy Team Sports and the Private Equity Playbook, on SSRN. Chapter 11’s central conflict has shifted to intra-class warfare among secured creditors. Highly recommended. legaltheoryblog.com/?p=11223…
