As your code draft is being created, our code specialists make notes of potential issues in an editorial report. This could include information about incomplete legislation, legislation that seems out-dated, or suggestions for material that may need updating, such as reviewing fees or fines.

There are also explanations for why material may have been codified or, in some cases, left out of the codification.

This report is used by the legal review editor in drafting the legal review. In addition, we look for references such as names of acts, public laws, and administrative code cites in order to provide a complete citation reference for the users of your code.

We conduct a general review looking for major constitutional issues (where a provision may conflict with settled law on issues such as curfew, loitering, utility disconnection, signs, etc.) and to locate possibilities for further statutory research by the client’s own counsel.
