The Linked Parallel Table of Authorities and Rules
A simple script to create a version of the Parallel Table of Authorities and Rules with links to the legal texts.
In my final semester of law school, I was sitting in an Administrative law class where we were learning about some of the resources used to practice administrative law. One was the PARALLEL TABLE OF AUTHORITIES AND RULES. The document links all of the regulatory rules in the United states with a citation to the US Code giving the agency the authority to make the rule.
While we were discussing how to use the document, the instructor mentioned that there wasn't a linked version of the list. I found a text version of the list and began to write a script that would parse the text and link it to law.cornell.edu. It was a fun project, and by the time the class was over, I had most of the linked parallel table finished.
In the subsequent years, Cornell seems to have updated their site with their own version of a parallel table of authorities.
