Ronald Dworkin on Interpretation - Dictionary of Arguments

Bocker I 598
Interpretation/Right/Laws/DworkinVsHart/Dworkin: Dworkin's interpretation model excludes strong judicial discretion. Rather, according to him, judges must presume that exactly one answer is the right one, even in difficult cases. This reply shall indicate the rights which a party to a dispute actually possesses. ((s) Rights are not "granted" by the judge - see also the distinction "detective"/"projectivistic"/Wright
).
DworkinVsHart: extra-legal standards must not play a role in this.
Solution/Dworkin: instead of rules ((s) in the case of Hart's second-level rules) principles must be applied.
>Principles/Dworkin.
DworkinVsHart: for Dworkin, to be and to shall play with necessity in the interpretation of the law, because according to Dworkin the law is continuously interpretative, i.e. has to get along without a conventionalist anchor point.
