This special edition consists of a selection of contributions delivered during a conference "Towards an integrated approach to the interpretation of legal documents: contracts, wills and statutes", hosted by the University of the Western Cape, on 23 March 2018. The aim of the conference was to take stock of the state of legal interpretation in South Africa five years after the watershed judgment in Joint Natal Municipal Pension Fund v Endumeni Municipality. The papers in the special edition provide clarifications, contestations and applications of the Edumeni approach to the interpretation of legal documents.
