The article explores how laws are organized and presented to the public after Congress passes them but before they are interpreted by courts. The process, called codification, is crucial for understanding and interpreting laws accurately. The researchers found that laws can change significantly during codification, and a group of lawyers in Congress called the Office of the Law Revision Counsel plays a key role in deciding how laws are organized in the U.S. Code. This organization can impact how laws are interpreted by courts, litigants, and the public. Understanding the complexities of codification is essential for correctly interpreting laws and determining legislative intent.
