United States Code

The United States Code is the codification of all statutory law.

Not to be confused with the Code of Federal Regulations.


History

The first codification of congressional law was published in 1874, as the first edition of the Revised Statutes of the United States. A second edition was published in 1878.

In the 1920s, a committee revived these efforts and produced the first United States Code in 1926.

The code is republished every 6 years with cumulative supplements published annually.

Privately annotated editions of the code are also available at significant cost.
