GeniusLex: U.S. Code & CFR 8

The U.S. Code presents a challenging puzzle rich in intellectual stimulation; however, assembling its components demands tedious, repetitive tasks. The necessity of constantly navigating back and forth through the text can deter students from engaging in thorough statutory interpretation and grasping the intricacies of the statute and regulations.

Imagine automating these mechanical tasks, freeing you to delve into the intellectually gratifying realms of statutory interpretation and analysis. This forms the foundation of our cutting-edge electronic statutory supplements.

GeniusLex introduces functionalities that law professors, students, and practitioners have long yearned for — automated identification of all defined terms (accompanied by previews and links to context-specific definitions), automated cross-references between code provisions and regulations, seamless integration of inflation adjustments into the original Code text, and swift offline searches by keyword or section number. All this comes at a fraction of the cost typically associated with traditional paperback statutory supplements.

Popup Definitions

The U.S. Code incorporates myriad defined terms. Understanding the definitions of these terms is crucial for comprehending the provisions that contain them. Unfortunately, these terms are not consistently indicated as defined terms each time they appear. Even when clearly identified, understanding a particular provision may necessitate meticulous page-flipping across different sections of the code.

To address the challenges posed by defined terms, GeniusLex offers a seamless solution. By simply clicking on a defined term, you can instantly access its meaning.

As definitions are context-specific, they do not hold universal significance throughout all sections of the code. For example, the definition of "property" in Section 317(a) of the Internal Revenue Code differs from its interpretation in Section 351 of the same code.

GeniusLex intelligently discerns the specific context in which a definition is applied and guides you to the precise meaning designated within that context.
