La interpretación de la ley es un tema clave en la teoría del derecho. Marmor analiza cómo la teoría semántica de Dworkin transformó la concepción del derecho, comparando distintas posturas. Critica las incoherencias en la interpretación y advierte sobre el relativismo que puede surgir, defendiendo su rol limitado en la comunicación legal.
