CODIFY MEANING
CODIFY DEFINITION
Codification is the process of arranging laws or rules into a systemic order. Codification can be done by taking judicial decisions and legislative acts and making them codified. The codification process does not create new laws; it simply arranges existing laws (usually by subject) into a code.
In the United States, for example, the chronological order in which acts of Congress were made law is codified chronologically. The United States Code contains all federal statutes.
Courts may refer to the original legislation or judicial proceedings when interpreting codified laws to get the meaning of the law's creator.
Codification helps to identify duplicate laws, inconsistent laws, and ambiguous laws. Codification provides a single source of information that professionals and the general public can access.
