@JesseMCross spotlights the amended statute—amended tens of thousands of times each Congress—as the neglected but central democratic text of modern law, urging theory and practice to place it at the heart of public law.

Kudos to two of my favorite authors, my Georgetown colleague, @shbarclay and my friend and statutory interpretation enthusiast, @JesseMCross. I've read both of these, and they are in fact terrific.
Volume 92.5 is now live, featuring pieces by @shbarclay; @JesseMCross; Sabrina Huang; Marta Krason; and Morgan O. Schaack. You can find them all here: lawreview.uchicago.edu.

Grateful to @lsolum for highly recommending my article on the CRA, and for making it a “download of the week”! A wonderful way to start the new year (and a new season of days-counting for the CRA 😬).

Thrilled to see my article, “Where Is Statutory Law?”, now in print with Cornell Law Review! Article available here: cornelllawreview.org/2023/09…
Replying to @Cornell_L_Rev
In the first Article, Jesse M. Cross (@JesseMCross) (@UofSCLaw) continues the work of developing an answer for our contemporary statutory world of what “the text of the statute” means—and should mean—in a modern era of deconstructed statutory texts. cornelllawreview.org/2023/09…

“To attempt to decide whether some date other than the one set out in the statute is the date actually ‘intended’… is to set sail on an aimless journey…” - U.S. v. Locke

Choose your interpretive approach: 1) They meant two days after Feb. 28, so it expires 3/2. 2) We must respect the text as written. I have eternal salmon.
