Reading and Interpreting Statutes Topic 7: Let’s Practice (Steps 4 and 5)

from The Law School Playbook Hosted by Halle Hara

Today, we are going to pick up where we left off in the last episode, where commercial airline pilot Sean Fitzgerald showed up for work “rip-roaring drunk” and engaged in pre-flight work before he was arrested. The statute he is alleged to have violated is 18 U.S.C. § 343, and we are now at step 4, which requires us to look for the statute’s meaning using the text and determine if the language is ambiguous or vague.
