Interpretation of Statutes

Interpretation of Statutes teaches how courts read, understand, and apply laws—making it one of the most practical and essential subjects for every advocate. This revision series—through concise videos, PDFs, and crisp notes—covers rules of interpretation, internal & external aids, maxims, mandatory vs. directory provisions, purposive interpretation, literal & golden rules, casus omissus, and the role of precedent.

With a real courtroom practice perspective, these notes explain how judges interpret ambiguous provisions, resolve conflicts between statutes, apply beneficial or penal interpretations, and use legislative intent and case law to arrive at decisions. The series also links interpretation principles with everyday practice in civil, criminal, constitutional, tax, and commercial matters.

Perfect for LLB students, interns, and junior advocates, this series turns statutory interpretation into a powerful tool for drafting, argumentation, and effective courtroom strategy.
