Any case with a footnote that starts, "Curiously, the 'just and reasonable' rate requirement for oil pipelines is nowhere to be found in the current U.S. Code" is my kind of case. See, 105 F.4th 418 (D.C. Cir. 2024).

rather than the Act itself, because the Act has been amended several times. Of course, when you click on the link to the Code in WL, it takes you to the current US Code section which just says that the section has been omitted from the code. 2/3

Interesting case that shows one of the limits of current statutory compilation. Court wants to cite the Navajo-Hopi Settlement Act, which was in the US Code, but was removed in 2016 by OLRC during a reclassification. So, court cites the US Code as it existed in 2012...1/3

New favorite federal district court alert. D. Mont. discusses postive law and cites The Shadow Code. Interesting case. Marquis v. Uecker, 2024 WL 416306.

Citing to the old US Code section when yours has been reclassified isn't a good look.

Good reminder from the 9th Circuit yesterday not to rely on the organization of a U.S. Code title that hasn't been enacted into positive law.

Some news.
Following nearly 18 years of dedicated leadership, Kory Staheli has stepped down as director of BYU Law's Howard W. Hunter Law Library. @ShawnNevers, former deputy director of the Law Library, has been appointed as the new director. https://t.co/5j5w1h8LNZ

Always fun to find a donated book while doing research and wonder if the previous owner thought someone would be using it 110 years later.

A move in the right direction for positive law in the last days of the 117th Congress.
