Template
Do not apply a statute using the ordinary meaning of a term the statute defines. A statute often defines common words to mean something narrower or broader than everyday usage, and a defined term controls over its plain meaning. Do not reach a statutory conclusion without consulting the definitions section and any cross-referenced definitions.
