I recently made (what is for me) a fabulous discovery: The U.S. House of Representatives Download Code site. Suddenly, I have continuous access to Title 15 (Commerce and Trade), Title 23 (Highways), and Title 49 (Transportation) on my very own computer. No more looking up arcane statutes in books nor waiting for the internet to allow me to see the code, one statute at a time. Instead, in a few short seconds I downloaded each entire title as a ZIP file, and voila I was code-rich. I imagine that the people who post the law technology blogs are firmly on top of this, but I never really have the time to wade through all of the technology stuff that I only vaguely understand to find it. Hats off to the House of Representatives for spending my tax dollars wisely.
