Group Tree

This page groups a legal code by where it sits within the wider structure of the law that contains it. Wikipedia notes that codification means "collecting and restating the law of a jurisdiction in certain areas, usually by subject," so a single code is normally organized inside a larger subject tree. Browsing this way lets a visitor move between a code and its neighboring subjects.
