US Code into this 21st Century

Have you heard? Title 51 has been added to the US Code! There have been 50 titles since 1926 - the creation of the official title format. This new title concerns National and Commercial Space Programs.

So what! you say? There's the fact that for 85 years the Congress has not changed this format and newer legislation has been shoe-horned to fit the existing 50 Title structure. Now Congress has effectively enacted a change. Following President Obama's lead on looking towards the future Congress has created this new title. The Office of the Law Revision Counsel plans to make some more changes. So look for new titles in the future!

How will this change your legal research?
