Abstract
This paper analyses interpretation as explained by Ronald Dworkin in his famous chain novel example and what he describes as stages of interpretation. It explains whether there is always a right answer to every legal question or whether there are legal questions for which a right answer is not available.
Keywords: right answer thesis, law as integrity, interpretative, pre-interpretation, post-interpretation, Dworkin and precedents, criticism of Dworkin, law as integrity
