Title (legislation)

Read a random definition: legate

A quick definition of Title (legislation):

Title (legislation): A title is a way of organizing laws into different categories based on their subject. For example, the United States Code has fifty titles, each one covering a different topic. When we refer to a law, we might say it is part of a certain title. For example, section 925A of the Brady Act is part of Title 18 (Crimes and Criminal Procedure). In some cases, a title might also refer to a specific section of a law, like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. This helps people find and understand laws more easily.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In legislation, the term "title" refers to a broad subject heading under which a law is classified.

For example, the United States Code is organized into fifty titles, each title pertaining to a particular subject. So, when we refer to a law, we might say it is in "Title 18" or "Title 42".

Another example is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. This is a large portion or subset of the act that deals with employment discrimination. It is codified in Title 42 of the United States Code.

These examples illustrate how titles are used to organize laws and make them easier to find and understand. By grouping laws by subject, it is easier for people to locate the laws that are relevant to their needs.

Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
