Identify and explore research techniques for finding and interpreting statutes.
While the United States legal system operates as a common law not a civil law system, there has been a shift over time from common law to statutory law as more and more legal issues have been codified. Knowing how to research statutes has become more important than ever. In this program we will review how statutes are created and codified; learn methods for finding applicable statutes, regardless of whether you are using online or print sources; and identify and explore research techniques for interpreting statutes. Along the way we will discover circumstances when a code is not actually the law, what a statute on statutes is, and how to find older versions of statutes. Buckle up for a wild ride on statutory research and taming the monster of statutory interpretation.
