Notes:
|
|
|
The United States Code is the official and essential source for federal statutory law research. For many researchers it is the only place they look. On close examination, however, the Code has shortcomings: laws are hidden in notes and appendices, other valid and current laws are left out entirely, the authority of the language in the Code varies from Title to Title.
