Purpose in Interpretation is a hermeneutic principle within statutory and legal interpretation that identifies the intent underlying a legal text’s enactment, distinguishing it from textualist or literal approaches by emphasizing the legislative objective or functional rationale as the primary guide for construing ambiguous provisions.
