purview

purview (p[schwa]r-vyoo).

1. Scope; area of application.

2. The body of a statute following the preamble.

“The word ‘purview’ appears sometimes to be confined to so much of the body of the statute as would be left by omitting the exceptions, provisos, and savings clauses; and as the word is ambiguous, and not very useful at best, a wise course may be not to use it at all.” William M. Lile et al., Brief Making and the Use of Law Books 336 (3d ed. 1914).
