The U.S. Code option on Search by Number form allows the user to search the full text of the United States Code Service (USCS) as published by Matthew Bender. USCS is an annotated version of the U.S. Code that arranges the current public laws of the United States by subject titles (numbered 1-50). The U.S. Code is updated monthly with the laws passed during the previous month. The U.S. Code is the compilation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the U.S.

Use the U.S. Code option to search the United States Code by citation. A U.S. Code citation is comprised of two numbers: the title number (which is between 1 and 50), and the section number. The text USC is in the middle of the numbers.
