A quick definition of in pari materia:

Term: IN PARI MATERIA

Definition: In pari materia means "on the same subject" in Latin. It is a rule that says when two laws are on the same subject, they should be interpreted together. This helps to resolve any inconsistencies between the two laws. For example, if there is a law about dogs and another law about pets, they are in pari materia because they are both about animals. This means that if there is a conflict between the two laws, a judge can look at both of them to decide what the law really means.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In pari materia means "in the same matter" in Latin. It refers to laws or statutes that are related to the same subject or matter.

For example, if there are two laws that deal with the same topic, they are considered to be in pari materia. When interpreting these laws, a judge may look at both of them together to resolve any inconsistencies or conflicts between them.

One example of in pari materia is the relationship between federal and state laws. If a state law is related to a federal law, they are considered to be in pari materia. This means that the state law must be interpreted in a way that is consistent with the federal law.

Another example is the relationship between different sections of the same law. If two sections of a law deal with the same subject, they are in pari materia. This means that they should be interpreted together to ensure that they are consistent with each other.
