“Any”, James J. Brudney, Ethan J. Leib
“Any”, James J. Brudney, Ethan J. Leib
BYU Law Review
Our statute books use the word “any” ubiquitously in coverage and exclusion provisions. As any reader of the Supreme Court’s statutory interpretation docket would know, a large number of cases turn on the contested application of this so-called universal quantifier.
