Making Sense of the Resident Defendant Rule
Amir Shachmurove was published in the UC Davis Law Review Online for an article titled, “Making Sense of the Resident Defendant Rule.” He writes, “While all three extant approaches possesses distinct benefits, the textualist one, as refined in this piece, most perfectly coheres with the law’s modern interpretive schematic. More than any other route, it not only aligns with the text’s essential thrust but also its specific and general context in the manner most faithful to the customs of both lexicographers and legislators. Regardless of these advantages, however, until the Court edifies or Congress amends, this row will linger, a tempting invitation for the devious and the dilatory alike.”
