Personally, I couldn't afford to be involved in a "legal interpretation" in a US court of Law
Legal interpretations aren't given in a court of law. These are issued by the FAA Chief or Regional Legal Counsel. These are standing interpretations of the regulation that are legal representations of official FAA policy, often used to clarify the regulation. The Chief Legal Counsel represents the FAA Administrator in issuing these interpretations and as such they are the official word of the FAA. Three sources exist for interpretation of the regulation; Federal Register Preambles, the Code of Federal Regulation, and Chief and Regional Legal Counsel interpretations.
You can visit some of the interpretations here:

Bear in mind that the FAR FAQ by Mr. Lynch was discontinued several years ago, and while it's useful for a general understanding, was never approved nor recognized by the Administration. Mr. Lynch was responsible for writing or co-writing quite a bit of regulation. His comments and opinions do, however, at times come at odds with the regulation and use of the FAQ as your guidance can on occasion lead you astray.
