What you will be able to do
- Build a U.S. Code citation (title, code, section, pinpoint and edition year), and cite subsections, lists and ranges without misleading the reader.
- Cite the same law as Congress enacted it, and know when the session law, not the Code, is the text to cite.
- Treat the year as an edition, not a status, and show amended or repealed text; check whether your court's rule sets the form.
