This is such a simple word and yet it is causing me problems in the context of a legal document. If someone promises to review something, is there an implication of some diligence? This may be less a semantic question than a legal one.

To me a review is NOT a thorough examination. Peruse is.

From my perspective, a review of anything could be thorough or otherwise. It doesn't imply any particular level of study.
