Statutory interpretation is the process by which courts and legal professionals analyze and clarify the meaning of laws enacted by legislatures. This involves examining the text of the law, its context, and the intent of the lawmakers to ensure that the law is applied correctly in specific cases. There are various methods of statutory interpretation, including literal interpretation, which focuses on the plain meaning of the words, and purposive interpretation, which considers the law's intended purpose. These methods help resolve ambiguities and ensure that laws are enforced consistently and fairly.
