A court can interpret a statute narrowly or broadly. A narrow interpretation will look at the text of the statute and apply the statute strictly within the confines. A broad interpretation will look not only at the text, but the legislative intent and whether a certain interpretation is in line with the purpose of the statute and whether certain meanings can be implied from the text.

Usually in appeals court cases resting on the meaning of a statute, they will use the terms narrow and broad. The narrow interpretation looks specifically at how this statute applies to this specific case. A broad interpretation can affect how the statute could in general be interpreted. At issue is the original intent of the governing body (state or federal) that created the statute.
