Well. Hhmmpfh! The scope of the law is expressly not defined in practice. There are many examples of disenfranchised poor people who receive the judge`s hammer and maximum hard time, while criminals in white collar and cut suits receive lighter sentences to serve in the Fed Club. As I said, “Hhmmpfh!” Seeking refuge among the dead is death itself, and it is only to take the full risk of life. Rabindranath Tagore Meanwhile, the phrase “the full extent of the law” has taken on the character of a cliché. This is annoyingly inaccurate, but it probably won`t go away. The law, on the other hand, is decisive. The extension is defined. You can sue someone with all the rigour of the law. The “complete” superlative form is not required. Could someone tell me how the “most complete” scope of the act is greater than the “full” scope of the act? Is there a common legal interpretation of this phrase in the United States? Law? How could it differ from the phrase “to the extent possible”? The criminal justice system must disclose, punish and deter to the fullest extent of the law. I was wondering whether the law, as argued, is determined and whether its “scope” is really fixed.
Doesn`t the extent to which the law can be enforced (e.g. for processions) also depend on external factors? As I am in the middle of a working day, I can only offer brief (and unfortunately superficial) examples of such external factors – but these can be health, status, wealth, education, etc. – the persecutor or the accused can be the political state (in politically sensitive situations), the interests of the public (and how they can be manipulated). And so on. Therefore, I believe that while these meanings were probably not in the minds of those who use “the full scope of the law,” it may not be such a bad formulation after all. You may even want to consider “the full scope of the law,” as the law can have different faces and aspects 🙂 that I don`t care about. There are ONLY two states of abundance. Either something is full or it is not full. This makes the word full an absolute such as “unique” or “perfect”. There is no word like full. I agree with Philip that “complete” is sufficient when talking about the scope of the act. Use the word expansion when discussing the scope of something, the scope of the business.
If you are an expert, the breadth of your knowledge is wide. If you own a lot of property, the extent of your land is huge. The full extent of something is like the border – that`s the end. When you reach the level of your patience, you no longer have patience. When an earthquake destroyed your home, the extent of the damage was severe. Now, I think daily refers to every day, but on a daily basis, habit and commitment involve to the full extent of the word I read in a policy document, and the term “as much as possible” is often used. Another word that pushes me to the wall is “full” – as in: “Offenders will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” They will be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. “In light of the case in question, we will pursue aggressively to the full extent of the law,” he said.
As a paralegal, I can tell you that the scope of the act is not precisely defined. I agree that it should be complete; However, since lawyers are able to mix and match charges, the scope is not limited. Maybe it started here?

This does not mean that “the most complete extent” is always superfluous. For example: Extent is the area that covers something. It could be a physical space or something like law enforcement with all the rigor of the law. Its chief executive, Brett Gosper, tweeted: “Spitting on freelancers should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.” “I live to the fullest every day and I don`t sweat the little things.” – Olivia Newton-John The use of the most comprehensive in these examples is acceptable because the extent to which life can be lived depends on external factors such as health and opportunity. “In the whole of.” Merriam-Webster.com dictionary, Merriam-Webster, www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/to%20the%20fullest%20extent%20of.
