|Publisher's Description:|Using the exact language of Congress so that you can cite it with confidence, the USCS provides |
| |comprehensive, annotated coverage of the entire U.S. Code, the U.S. Constitution, the Federal Rules of |
| |Civil, Criminal, Bankruptcy, and Appellate Procedure, the Court Rules of the Supreme Court, Federal Courts|
| |of Appeals and special courts, the Federal Rules of Evidence, the United States Sentencing Guidelines, as |
| |well as the procedural rules of major administrative agencies, major treaties, and selected uncodified |
| |laws. |
| | |
| |Strengths |
| | |
| |1. Broader Coverage: USCS' coverage of court opinions that appear only in specialty reporters (i.e. CCH|
| |and BNA) as well as its coverage of opinions issued by agencies (e.g. IRS, Social Security Administration,|
| |Consumer Product Safety Commission) is far more comprehensive than USCA's. See, e.g., 15 USCS 780-3, 78s,|
| |78u-3 (SEC decisions under the Securities Exchange Act); 7 USCS 499a, et seq. (Department of Agriculture |
| |decisions under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act). |
| |2. Selective Casenote Annotations: USCS editors write casenotes only for decisions that offer meaningful|
| |interpretation, application or construction of a Code Section or Court Rule. This means that a researcher|
| |doesn't have to waste time trying to separate the important decisions from those that are marginal or |
| |offer no real impact. |
| |3. Casenotes Written for the USCS: USCS editors write casenotes specifically for the USCS volumes. |
| |4. Expert Commentary: USCS has an exclusive license to add commentary from the National Institute for |
| |Trial Advocacy to USCS. This is an ongoing process and, to date, commentary has been added to Federal |
| |Rules of Civil Procedure 1–25, 27–29, 35, 50-53, 55-57 and 68; Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 1 – 31;|
| |and Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 36-38. In addition, the authors of the Federal Rules of Evidence|
| |Manual have provided their expert commentary to the USCS volumes containing the Federal Rules of Evidence.|
| |5. Cross-References to Matthew Bender Treatises: Cross-references to these authoritative treatises |
| |provides the researcher with support and insight into various topics. |
| |6. Exact language of Congress (the Statutes at Large): Courts have consistently ruled the Statutes at |
| |Large to be the controlling language when it differs from the codified statute (i.e. the United States |
| |Code). See 1 U.S.C.S. 204; see also United States v. Carroll, 105 F.3d 740 (1st Cir. 1997); United States|
| |v. Gigli, 37 Bankr. 939 (W.D. Pa. 1984). |
| |7. Casenote Organization: USCS casenote annotations are presented under logical schemes tailored to |
| |individual Code sections that reflect the issues that have arisen in opinions construing, interpreting or |
| |applying the Code sections. |
