grammatical interpretation

Read a random definition: jury-packing

A quick definition of grammatical interpretation:

Grammatical interpretation is when you try to understand what something means by looking at the words themselves. It's like trying to solve a puzzle by only using the pieces you have in front of you. This is different from other types of interpretation, like when you ask the person who wrote something what they meant, or when you look at how other people have interpreted similar things in the past. Grammatical interpretation is just about the words on the page.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Grammatical interpretation is the process of determining the meaning of something, especially a law or legal document, based solely on the words used.

For example, if a law states that "all vehicles must stop at a red light," a grammatical interpretation would mean that any type of vehicle, including cars, trucks, and bicycles, must come to a complete stop at a red light.

Grammatical interpretation is one of several methods used in statutory construction, which is the process of interpreting and applying laws.

Other methods include:

Each method has its own approach to interpreting laws and can be used depending on the circumstances of the case.
