Ep.67 – Aditi Bagchi on Interpreting Boilerplate

Aditi Bagchi, professor of law at Fordham University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her recent essay Risk Averse Contract Interpretation. In this essay, Bagchi argues that boilerplate does not require its own doctrine of contract interpretation, but rather it should incorporate external references in an approach that defies both interpretive contextualism and formalism. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, a teaching fellow and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School.
