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).

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

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

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.

I’m a child of the ‘80s, so can’t help but be excited to hear LeVar Burton at #LegalWeek23.

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.
