What does All mean in American Law?

The definition of All in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

A word used to indicate that every member of a class or group is to be included in whatever treatment is specified, e.g., “all male persons over the age of eighteen shall register for the draft.” The word is an attempt at classificatory comprehensiveness. But attempts are also sometimes made in legal contexts to be even more comprehensive than comprehensive, to convey the same idea by some more striking term like “all and sundry” or “all and singular,” (i.e., the whole set and every member thereof) or some totally redundant legalism like “each and every.” This testifies to the difficulty of making “all” mean “all” in the face of occasional contextual pressures toward a less comprehensive result.
