Abstract
Statutes provide much of the modern legal body of law. It is necessary for any lawyer to have a good understanding of "legisprudence," the rules for enactment and interpretation of statutes. South Dakota has developed a useful body of legisprudence through both statutes and cases that provide direction about how statutes should be read. This article provides a descriptive collection and normative assessment of these interpretive rules.
