In the section titled “Intent of the Legislature,” Scalia writes on the rules of statutory construction. His first rule of interpretation has to do with the simple face value of a statute: if the requirements of the law are clear, then intention behind the law does not matter and the judge must rule in accordance with what the law says.

Youth put in out-of-home consideration through the adolescent court experience numerous moves. While in consideration, youth move from arrangement to situation and eventually return home, move to another permanency alternative or free from the framework to autonomy.
