Justice Carlos Muniz

This fall, Supreme Court Justice Carlos G. Muñiz is teaching a new course, “Textualism and its Rivals,” at The Florida State University College of Law.

Using Scalia and Garner’s “Reading Law” as the principal course book, students will learn in depth about textualism, a dominant mode of statutory interpretation in federal and Florida courts today. Students will also learn about alternative approaches to statutory interpretation and how those approaches have been applied in case law. The course will challenge students to consider how statutory interpretation should be done and will equip them with practical knowledge that will make them more effective law clerks, advocates, and counselors.
