Simple English definitions for legal terms

across-the-board

Read a random definition: mutual insurance company

A quick definition of across-the-board:

Across-the-board means that something applies to everyone or everything in a particular group or category. For example, an across-the-board tax cut would mean that everyone who pays taxes would receive a reduction in their taxes, regardless of their income or other factors. It's like a blanket rule that covers everyone equally.

A more thorough explanation:

ACROSS-THE-BOARD

Across-the-board is an adjective that means applying to all classes, categories, or groups. For example, an across-the-board tax cut would apply to all taxpayers regardless of their income level.

  • An across-the-board pay raise for all employees.
  • An across-the-board ban on smoking in public places.
  • An across-the-board reduction in government spending.

These examples illustrate the definition of across-the-board because they all involve a policy or decision that affects everyone or everything in a particular group or category. In the case of a pay raise, it would apply to all employees regardless of their job title or performance. In the case of a smoking ban, it would apply to all public places, not just certain ones. And in the case of a spending reduction, it would apply to all government programs and departments, not just a select few.
