Ind. Law - More on: "Can you rely on the Indiana Code?"
Yesterday afternoon several of us, members of the Environmental Law Section of the Indiana State Bar Association, buttressed in the audience by other bar members and a number of professional law librarians, had the opportunity to testify before the highly-regarded legislative Commission on Courts. The topic was our concerns about the Indiana Register and Indiana Administrative Code, which as of July 2006 are only available online, and our concerns about the fact that not all the statute law in Indiana is compiled in the Indiana Code.
This may ring a bell with some of you who have read my Res Gestae articles from Sept. 2007 (Assuring authentic legal information in the digital age: Part II - The Indiana Register and the Indiana Administrative Code) and May 2008 (Can you rely on the Indiana Code? Part I -- Noncode sections). Our testimony was received with lively interest.
During my presentation on the Indiana Code, I gave a number of new examples (some of them sent to me by some of you readers*) of provisions which have substantive impact but are not in the Indiana Code. I plan to compile these into Part II of the article, and also to post them here within the next several weeks.
