Citations

The reference to any primary law source—including
federal statutes—is termed a “citation.” The citation, which
is always written in a standard form, tells you precisely
where the law is located. Citations to federal statutes
contain the title of the U.S. Code where the statute is
found and the section number.
Example: The citation for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is:

and blue). Look at the spine of the volumes marked 42 to
find the one that includes § 2000a-h.

For a complete chronological listing of Acts that have been classified to the Code together with their Code classifications and current status, see Tables II and III.

repealed.

For example, the California statutes are
published both in West’s Annotated Codes and in Deering’s Annotated
Codes (Lexis Publishing). Because both publications index the same
statutes and use the same citations, a citation you find in the Deering
index can be looked up in the West code, and vice versa.
