About PublicLaws.org
PublicLaws.org is an independent legal information portal. Our mission is to make U.S. federal and state laws easier to find, read, and understand. We believe public legal information should be accessible, well-organized, and free for everyone.
What We Publish
- The full text of every section of the United States Code, organized by title and section
- Summaries of every title of the United States Code
- Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) title summaries
- Browsing pages for every state and territory code, including links to constitutions, court rules, session laws, and official statutes
- State-by-state legal topic guides covering common issues such as DUI, divorce, bankruptcy, gun laws, tenant rights, and more
- Court and attorney directories to help visitors find legal help
- Plain-language legal guides on reading statutes, finding court records, and understanding the legal system
Data Sources
We rely on official government sources, including the U.S. House Office of the Law Revision Counsel, the Government Publishing Office, state legislatures, and courts. Federal legislative, regulatory, and judicial materials are generally U.S. government works and in the public domain. We process and republish them with added navigation, search, and context.
Editorial Standards
All content is informational. We do not provide legal advice, and we prominently display source links so readers can verify the law themselves. Our summaries are written to be accurate and helpful, but laws change constantly. Always consult the official source or a licensed attorney for advice about a specific situation.
Why PublicLaws.org Exists
Legal research is too often expensive, fragmented, or difficult for non-lawyers. We aim to lower the barrier by publishing machine-readable, search-engine-friendly pages that point back to authoritative sources. Whether you are a student, journalist, small-business owner, or concerned citizen, we hope this site helps you find the law faster.
