GeniusLex: U.S. Code & CFR for Android

11 things about GeniusLex: U.S. Code & CFR

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. The US Code includes thousands of defined terms.

4. 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.

5. To solve the problems associated with understanding defined terms, GeniusLex has provided the solution.

6. 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.

7. Unfortunately, these terms are not always labeled as defined terms every time they are used.

8. The U.S. Code is an intellectually rich and rewarding puzzle, but piecing it together requires repetitive, mechanical tasks.

9. All you have to do is to click on a defined term and you will be able to view its meaning instantly.

10. Definitions are specifically related to the context in which they are being used; therefore, they do not apply to all sections of the code.

11. 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.
