Justice Scalia has derided the use of legislative history as 'the equivalent of entering a crowded cocktail party and looking over the heads of the guests for one's friends.' In 'Using Legislative History in American Statutory Interpretation', Dr. Christian Mammen defends the use of legislative history and argues against the traditional link between legislative history and legislative intentions. Instead, he endorses the use of legislative history for its ability to provide expert analysis of information about the statutory context. Additionally, he addresses the judicial practice of using legislative history to discover what courts have called 'legislative intention.'
