Ambiguity in Legal Interpretation: Wrapping up

Although there is certainly more to discuss, it is time to close the blog debate over Ward Farnsworth's and my recent empirical work on the role of policy preferences in statutory interpretation.  I want to thank Judges Frank Easterbrook, Richard Posner, and Stephen Williams and Professors Einer Elhauge, William Eskridge and Ward Farnsworth for participating.  Finally, we owe a special debt to Jonathan Masur for organizing this event.  It was a very fruitful discussion.
