Simple English definitions for legal terms

statutory exposition

Read a random definition: privy signet

A quick definition of statutory exposition:

Statutory exposition: When a new law is created, sometimes it needs to explain what certain words or phrases in an old law mean. This is called a statutory exposition. It helps people understand how the old law should be interpreted and followed.

A more thorough explanation:

Statutory exposition refers to a special interpretation of ambiguous terms in a previous statute by a new statute.

For example, let's say there is a law that says "no vehicles allowed in the park." This law is ambiguous because it doesn't specify what types of vehicles are prohibited. A new law could be passed that provides a statutory exposition by defining "vehicles" to include cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles. This would clarify the previous law and make it easier to enforce.

Another example of statutory exposition is when a new law clarifies the meaning of a term that was previously unclear. For instance, a law might define "assault weapon" to include specific types of firearms that were not previously covered by existing laws.

Overall, statutory exposition is an important tool for lawmakers to ensure that their laws are clear and enforceable. By providing specific definitions and interpretations of ambiguous terms, they can help prevent confusion and ensure that everyone understands what is expected of them.
