Description

The U.S. Code is an intellectually rich and rewarding puzzle, but piecing it together requires repetitive, mechanical tasks. Repeatedly flipping back and forth to the right page can deter students from reading and learning to parse the statute and regulations. What if we could automate mechanical tasks so that you could focus on the intellectually rewarding aspects of statutory interpretation and analysis? This is the idea behind our innovative electronic statutory supplements. GeniusLex implements features law professors, students, and practitioners have wanted for decades, including automated identification of all defined terms (with previews and links to context-specific definitions), automated cross links between code provisions and regulations, seamless integration of inflation adjustments with the original text of the Code, and rapid offline search by keyword or section number--all for a fraction of the cost of traditional paperback statutory supplements. Popup Definitions The US Code includes thousands of defined terms. It is important for you to know the meaning of each of the defined terms to understand the meaning of the provisions that contain those defined terms. Unfortunately, these terms are not always labeled as defined terms every time they are used. Even in cases where they are labeled as defined terms, you may need to flip back and forth to several locations in the code if you want to understand a certain provision. To solve the problems associated with understanding defined terms, GeniusLex has provided the solution. All you have to do is to click on a defined term and you will be able to view its meaning instantly. Definitions are specifically related to the context in which they are being used; therefore, they do not apply to all sections of the code. For instance, the definition of “property” in Section 317(a) of the Internal Revenue Code is different from its meaning in Section 351 of the same code. GeniusLex automatically recognizes the context in which a definition has been used and connects you to the correct definition if one is provided in the same title. __________ Read more about our terms and privacy policy here: http://www.geniuslex.com/terms http://www.geniuslex.com/privacy

    I had such high hopes for this app. Every time I opened it all I got was a blank white screen. That’s all. I deleted and reinstalled several times and still…white screen.

    Nice interface but very expensive subscription for information that is available for no charge through the GPO.

    As a lawyer I appreciate getting information quickly. This app delivers: I can search my section of interest in no time and navigate back and forth very conveniently. I wish this had bookmarks though...
  • Highly recommended

    This is an excellent app, particularly for other law students like myself who are studying tax. Title 26 is extremely complex but the contextual definitions here provided make it breeze to understand. I can't use any other electronic statute now.
  • Great app

    Contextual definitions for the U.S. Code is something I always wished could be available, and I am so glad to have finally found an electronic version of the statute that offers just that. I would very much appreciate the possibility to print/share specific sections with their corresponding definitions. Thank you!

    This is a top legal reference app to interpret statutues without getting bogged down by difficult searches for correct definitions. The developers should include more options to save/bookmark/highlight/share specific sections though.

    Great app especially for help navigating the tax code. I have made extensive use of cross-linked definitions to help me interpret the meaning of the text. I wish this was available also for State Laws.
  • CFR 49

    By ProtonKat
    I was looking for CFR 49 and run into this app. This is hands down the best of its kind - very fast search by keyword which I use very frequently. I can easily navigate the complicated index of CFR 49 and get to the section of interest in no time. Recommended to anyone who like values speed and efficiency.

    In my opinion this is an app that every lawyer should have. Search by keyword and definitions are great in helping me move around the us code with ease. If you are still using traditional electronic versions of the US code I strongly encrourage you to transition to this app
