ABSTRACT
Contract interpretation is one of the most significant areas of commercial law. As a result, there is an extensive academic and judicial debate over the optimal method for construing agreements. Throughout this exchange, scholars and courts have advanced a wide array of conceptual, theoretical, and empirical arguments in support of the two primary schools of interpretation – textualism and contextualism – as well as various hybrid positions. This Essay is intended to serve as a primer on those arguments.
